Date Picture Taken
Date stated as Jan 1 1960.... Visited HK in summer of 1959 and the North Point Power station was alive and well then. I cannot see any thing relating to the Chimneys in the photograph. I remember the start of North Point B 1953 just before I left HK in Feb '54, and do not know when it was demolished (can anyone enlighten me please?) but Lamma Island was switched on in ??1965/7??.Assume that North Point was operating until than?
Love all the photos. Harry P
Re: Date picture taken
Harry, the date given is not necessarily an exact one, Jan 1st is usually the date chosen when no exact date is known.
However, this is certainly from the 1960's. Compare a very similar one http://gwulo.com/atom/21044. Here you can see smoke from the chimney at North Point. Possibly the resolution of Mike's photo isn't high enough to see chimneys.
On Wikipedia I found the start of operation in 1919, and the final decommission in 1978.
