A small extract | Gwulo: Old Hong Kong

A small extract

I was going through some of my map books of Hong Kong when I found some small passages (not much info) inside. Extract sentences below.

At that time the British Hong Kong Government didn't apply the metric system (Year 1977) yet and the MSs' were sprung up all over Castle Peak Road. It was anoymous who and when those were taken away.

 

MSs' were all over CPR, starting from Star Ferry at Tsim Sha Tsui. The first mile was at Yue Hwa Emporial at Jordan road, mile 26 was at Sun Yuen Long Centre, and a full loop is about 56 miles.

 

(In 1976, the Colonial Hong Kong Government switched from imperial to metric system, so I assume they were taken out once they are very badly damaged, i.e.little markings visible to show that this is a MS.)
