The earliest mention of Murray Pier I can find is from 24th January 1880 when His Excellency Lau Kwan-Yih, late Viceroy of Kwangtung and Kwangsi and Viceroy elect of Two Kiang arrived with his entourage in Hong Kong, landing at Murray Pier. (Source)
Demolished due to the Central Reclamation of the 1890's. A new pier was built on the foreshore.
Dating I have since discovered from 1954, Queen's Pier seen here in Central Hong Kong still looks relatively new. Used for official visits, including the one made by HRH Prince Philip in March 1959.
(Added: Visit was from 6th to 8th March, 1959.) <Read more ...>
