Hi there,

Next To the Chartered Bank to the west there sat 廣東銀行.  I have forgotten if it was written as Kwong Tung Bank or Bank of Kwong Tung back then.  The bank changed hands quite a few times after WWII.  First being bought out by some American Banking group, then very recently by the China Construction Bank group.  Its latest incarnation is the China Construction Bank (Asia) Corporation Limited.

Best Regards,

Hi there,

The previous version of the Bank of East Asia is also visible right next to the New Henley House at Ice House Street.

Best Regards,
