Authors: 

A view of my grandparents' house "The Rockies" and the house above it, on Cheung Chau. I presume that the inscription "45,000 sq ft" on the back of the photo refers to the area of the land they bought. This would have been taken between 1946 and 1953, which was the period when they lived there. Does anyone know anything about that other house?

Date picture taken (may be approximate):

I guess the house in the foreground is #11.

Hi David,

I could be House #19 instead, according to the map.  House #19.

Hi Thomas,

Looking closer at the coastline in the photo there would be a turn to the right if it was #11 as I suggested.

Instead the coast is roughly straight so I think you're right that the house in the foreground is #19.
