Ini merupakan salah satu gambar yang telah lama kami idam-idamkan, biasanya kami mendapatkan gambar jalan yang kosong melompong. Kalaupun ada hanya ada satu atau dua orang pejalan kaki dan itupun diantara gambar yang kami dapatkan tersebut, para pejalan kaki bukannya sedang berjalan melainkan berhenti dan berpose untuk diambil gambarnya. 

Jam Gadang from year to year

This picture taken on 1970's but we thinks maybe on 1980's, the tree in the right side was not to high and the road from Pasa Ateh still there. Now this road become open field. There is bendi and the man ride the bicycle.

1970's, that is information about this picture, but the tree not there yet. Pasa Batingkek in Pasa Ateh has not built yet. And in the right side we can see the Pahlawan Tak Dikenal Monument.

This third picture have year 1970-1990, but we sure that this picture taken on 1990's because the tree has grow and Pasa Batingkek Building has there.

Jam Gadang (Clock Tower) in this picture has gonjong in the roof, this indicate that this picture taken in the era of Republick of Indonesia. The building from the colonial period is still there and as well with the two pillar in front of Jam Gadang. Many Bendi (hansome cab) park in front of Jam Gadang, like this time the park was moved to another side. This picture have a year 1950-1970's.
________________________________________________
Pada gambar ini telah ada gonjong pada atap Jam Gadang, kemungkinan foto ini diambil selepas kemerdekaan. Sesuai dengan keterangan pada foto ini yakni sekitar tahun 1950-1970an. Bangunan pada sebelah kanan Jam Gadang masih ada, bangunan ini merupakan warisan Kolonial Belanda. Kalau kami tiada salah, dimasa kemerdekaan bangunan itu dijadikan sebagai kantor penerangan, kemudian diruntuhkan dibuat bangunan baru bergonjong yang konon kabarnya ialah bangunan Kantor Pos. Dan kini tidak ada satu bangunanpun di dekat Jam Gadang.

Jam Gadang 1980-an
