القدس الشريف: صورة قديمة للحائط الغربي للمسجد الأقصى أو حائط البراق. (قبل 1914)

During the British mandate of Palestine, a commision was formed in 1930, and a ruling on the ownership of the wall was issued by the commision.

Subsequent to the investigation it has made, the Commission herewith declares that the ownership of the Wall, as well as the possession of it and of those parts of its surroundings that are here in question, accrues to the Moslems. The Wall itself as being an integral part of the Haram-esh-Sherif area is Moslem property. From the inquiries conducted by the Commission, partly in the Sharia Court and partly through the hearing of witnesses' evidence, it has emerged that the Pavement in front of the Wall, where the Jews perform their devotions, is also Moslem property.

This is interesting because in the picture men and women pray together. Nowadays there is a complete separation.
