Hi there,

I have one observation.  The tram tracks at Tin Lok Lane did not turn east back in the 1930's.  As far as I could recall Hong Kong Tramways only started the Happy Valley <-> Shaukiwan route in the middle or late 1970's.

Best Regards,

T

I'm a big fan of HKMan's pictures. It's a real shame no one has picked  him out for a book yet because he obviously spends a lot of time and effort doing these shots.

I believe this would be of help indicating the changes, extracted from the 1st official book of Hongkong Tramways.

I recall the easbound turn from Tin Lok Lane ocurred in the 1970s. Same time frame as Thomas indicates.
