Connaught Road Central at the junction with Pedder Street, General Post Office in the back.

Estimated to the 1950s on Flickr, but I think it's earlier, possibly 1930s..

Old Praya before the reclamation

1884

Postcard entitled "Praya before Reclamation" that was sent from Shanghai on 1906-05-11(!). Written by a German person (Hans), mostly illigble handwriting. Was onboad S.S. Thorn or Thoris (?).

Think City Hall is on the left, to the right only small barracks are visible. Probably Wardley House should have been there, and the second generations HSBC Headquarters Building isn't there yet. That would limit the date between 1883 and 1885.

Wing_Lok_Street_Wharf_1925

The name of the pier can be read, the name of the company is a bit difficult. However, I think it reads: Hong Kong, Canton and Macao Steamboat Company.
