Have finally found the date of the typhoon damage to the wall between 19 Broadwood Road, home to Leslie Warren and his family, and no. 20, The Towers, which can just be seen on the left. It is 24 July 1930. The annual report of the Botanical & Forestry Department provides a good record of the number of times the typhoon signal was hoisted and the worst typhoon of each year, if any.
