No. 5 Boundary Stone (Replica)

Submitted by Klaus on Sun, 2021-07-11 17:41

This boundary stone is exhibited at the Hong Kong Museum of History in Tsim Sha Tsui. 

Obviously, it's a replica - and not an exact one!

It bears the date 1899; this is ok with the year of delimitation of the boundary, but the original shows the date 1898 - that's the year of the Second Peking Convention.

The photo shows buildings on Nathan Road (left) and Haiphong Road (right), possibly taken from the HK Telephone Building. It gives a similar view like Tsim Sha Tsui 1954, but extends more to the north-west.

Tsim Sha Tsui 1954

Submitted by Klaus on Sun, 2021-03-21 21:24

View along Nathan Road in southerly direction possibly taken from the HK Telephone Building. The largest building is the Peninsula Hotel, and we can see a couple of roads going west (right): Salisbury and Middle Roads near the hotel, then Peking Road, and finally (in the foreground) a short road that leads to Lock Road which didn't have a junction with Peking Road at this time.

Many of the houses visible were built around 1930, and they will be demolished shortly after this photo was taken.
