Hi Everyone,
I'm new here at GWULO and I find this website very informative and educational. I have an inquiry about an old address which I find very difficult to locate
since I always get confused about old Hong Kong map markings (M.L. and I.L.) versus original street numbers before and after the reclamations
period. I am specifically looking for #87 Praya East (Johnston Road). I've read in this website that the renovated The Woo Cheong Pawn shop (now The Pawn Restaurant) is #60-66 Johnston Road. Will it be safe fo me to assume that #87 Johnston Road was located between Tai Wong St E and Amoy Street?
Thank you for your assistance on my inquiry. Cheers!

Thank you Herostratus for your reply. Regarding #87 Praya East (Johnston Road) year, I'd like to narrow it
down to year 1903-1904.
Also, I'd like to inquire if #27, Praya Central and #61, Queen's Road Central points to the correct
address of the Hong Kong Hotel (now Central Building?) in July 1894.
Thank you. Cheers!
