Cropped from c.1927 Aerial view of TST
This aerial view shows houses on Hankow Road behind the Peninsula Hotel. The red rectangle shows the site where the European Houses on Hankow Road (1920/30's) will be built in a few years.
On this photo some first generation houses in the block between Peking, Hankow, Haiphong, and Nathan Roads can be seen, likely Beryl and Fairview. Additionally, a long block of houses can be seen along Haiphong Road. And, of course, Star Theatre.
The place where Ho Tung Mansions will be built, is still a garden.
