Comments
Reclamation
Wanchai reclamation started. On the left of the reclaimed area, Fenwick Pier can be seen, and on the right "peninsula" Wanchai Ferry Pier.
The British Military Hospital
The British Military Hospital building fills the foreground, though by the time the photo was taken the British Army had already moved out.
Location of photographer
Hi There,
I suspect the photographer was somewhere on Magazine Gap road base on the proximity of the British Miligary Hospital. Maybe even on Dutch Lane, close to the service reservoir.

Near Fenwick Pier the former Harcourt Road Heliport and the HK Red Cross HQ can be seen.
