1985

Compared with my photograph of 1966, the untidy surroundings near the pagoda in 1985 had been cleaned up a little, affording somewhat easier access. However, the proximity of newly erected overhead electricity supply cables indicates that heritage conservation  still received little consideration at the time.

(We're looking for any photos / contemporary descriptions of the pagoda from the 1940s or earlier, to help identify a photo's location. If you know of any, please let us know in the comments below.)

I don't know what the top building is. Guessing this is around 1910. Is that the Diocesan Girls School behind?
