Connaught Road Houses between the Central Fire Station and the Harbour Office 1993

Submitted by Klaus on Tue, 2022-02-01 22:35
Date picture taken (to nearest decade for older photos): 
1993

Cropped and enhanced from this photo on Flickr. (from October 1993)

Not all houses still visible from the harbour, the Harbour Office from around 1990 partly blocks the view onto Connaught Road. Therefore Nan Fung Tower is almost invisible.
