Magistracy Road and Arbuthnot Road

Submitted by KMB_CTB on Sun, 2017-06-11 11:01

In the Friend of China and Hongkong Gazette released on 25 AUG 1842, the office of Mr Edward Francomb is said to having been located at 1 Magistracy Road. Yet, according to the 1845 map, the Edwards was located on Arbuthnot Road then.

I wonder if Magistracy Road was renamed to Arbuthnot Road between 1842 and 1845. It would be so nice if someone could prove me right.

I am unsure of the location but I think Garden Road is in the foreground. Does anyone know who the French Admiral was?

 

After further research I have worked out that this photo is of the Wyndham Street/Arbuthnot Road area taken from junction of Ice House Street/Lower Albert Road, roughly where the FCC is today. 

The following building can be seen:
