What is missing in the Lookout photo is the popsie seller, and the old phone booth where you had to push button A and then button B. I made lots of pocket money off button B.

HONG KONG ANNUAL DEPARTMENTAL REPORT BY THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR 1954 - 55 (=1 April 1954 to 31 March 1955)

124. Look-out, Victoria Peak. The end of Lugard Road, adjacent to the Peak Tramway Terminus, has always been a favourite spot for both tourists and residents as it is from here that one of the finest views of the City of Victoria and the harbour can be obtained. It was decided to provide facilities for these sightseers by erecting a covered shelter with a viewing balcony cantilevered over the hillside.

125. The structure was completed by the end of the year.
