Memories of Hong Kong 1980s

My guess is Mody Road at the junction with Cornwall Avenue on the right, and Minden Row on the left. What indicates this location is a comment from Mike "My favourite eating place was the Malayan restaurant Minden ave".

Any other suggestion would be welcome.

Au Trou Normand (French Restaurant, First Location) [1964-????]

Submitted by Klaus on Fri, 2021-01-01 22:58
Date Place completed: 
c.1964-01-01 (Month, Day are approximate)

SCMP reported in 2003: Founded by a former French paratrooper, Bernard Vigneau, in 1964, the 60-seat restaurant was a slice of Europe in Tsim Sha Tsui. 

The restaurant was located at 6 Hankow Road (probably inside the Hanchung Mansion which opened 05/1962), at least until the 1980s.

It moved later to 4B-6H Carnarvon Road.

Reclamation of land at the southern end of Tsim Sha Tsui was finished around 1905. This was in connection with the proposed Kowloon Canton Railway. Since 1899, the government discussed several plans and locations for both the railway line and the terminus.
