HK Telephone Building
Please can I check if it was on the north or south side of Cameron Rd?
Thanks, MrB
HK Telephone building
It was on the north side of Cameron Rd [ North and East ] Was it Lane Crawford on the ground floor and some expat occupied, quite reasonable, flats above.
Re: HK Telephone Building
Hi there,
If it was on the North Eastern corner of Cameron & Nathan then the present day location would be HSBC. The old Lane Crawford store used to be in the location of the present day Giordano apparel chain, at Humphreys & Nathan.
Best Regards,

Lane Crawford store
My mum, Irene Bradley, worked in both the HK and Kowloon stores in the 60's. I think she was in the Ladies Department. I used to visit only the toy department!
