This photo shows two bridges over the tram: over Macdonnell Road (1st) and above the one over Bowen Road. May Road bridge hasn't been built yet (built 1907).

Looks as if the photo was taken from the same place as this one, only from the opposite side of the dam. <Read more ...>

Lower right picture was taken in 1974, showing the Lai Chi Kok bay was still in existence.

The same area was a park in the 80s before it finally becomes a part of the West Rail Mei Foo Station. <Read more ...>

Peak Tram Bridges

Submitted by Klaus on Mon, 2018-12-17 00:54

In the Journal from 1888 it is reported that there are eleven bridges on the Peak Tram. Two of them are over roads, and the rest over nullahs and gaps. In the beginning, two road bridges over the tram were built (Bowen Road, a bit later Macdonnell Road). In 1907, the May Road bridge was built, and in 1968, the Cotton Tree Drive bridge was added.

So, let’s start at the lower terminus. <Read more ...>
