Hammerhead Crane (Demolition) Timeline

Submitted by Klaus on Thu, 2020-03-19 04:44
Date picture taken (to nearest decade for older photos): 
1982

It's not easy to find the demolition date of the Hammerhead Crane, Hung Hom. Fortunately, in the early 1980s frequent aerial survey flights were performed that are accessible at the website of HKMS 2.0. These were executed at different flight altitudes, therefore some photos have poor resolution.

In this compilation the top row shows the crane, while it's already gone at the bottom row. So the demolition date should be between May and October 1982.

Construction of Whampoa Garden has started already. Of the former staff houses, only Tantallon Terrace is still there.

Text on Flickr:

Upper photo (circa 1984) showing the HUD staff quarters was still under occupation although the dockyard was in its final years of function, largely as a container storage yard. 

Lower photo showing the pre-war block of terraced houses where expatriate staff has just been vacated prior to demolition (1986).

Note: The upper part of the photo is much like this one by IDJ.

Looking for information about my great grandfather who worked for Hongkong Whampoa Dock Co from about 1890 to 1916.

His daughters born in Scotland both married Hong Kong Scots.

His daughter, my grandmother Florence Agnes Neave, was born in Hong Kong around 1900.

They called their house in England "Lei Yu Mun".
