View on Victoria Gap with Peak Tram. In the center Barker Road is crossing. Interesting to see a pavillion in front of Glenshiel, and a building behind.

歲月神偷白加道纜車站 Barker Road Station 2008, Hong Kong Now and Then

Submitted by Klaus on Sat, 2016-01-02 00:31

Photos of the Barker Road station of the Peak Tram. The old photo is from the 1910s, the others are from 2008.

On the old one Glenshiel is visible behind the tracks, this likely sets the date to about 1915. On the 2008 one Epworth Lodge can be seen. <Read more ...>

Peak Tram and Richmond House in the 1930's

Submitted by Klaus on Mon, 2015-12-21 23:06

Date picture taken (to nearest decade for older photos):

1935

Places shown in this photo:

Richmond House, Barker Road [????- ]

On Youtube I found a most interesting video. It's title is "The Cunard Line presents Hong Kong" and was made for the trip around the world of Cunard's cruise ship "Franconia". It is not eactly dated (1930's), so I set the date to 1935.

I copied a film still which shows the Peak Tram and the (first generation) Richmond House.

31 Barker Road (2nd generation Richmond House?) [c.1952-c.1999]

This is the first image I found where the second generation Richmond House is gone. I think what we see at the house's site is a fence around (possibly) an excavation site for e.g. cellars. The steel rig around the flagpole is still there. A detail is shown below: <Read more ...>
