Comparison of parts of two panorama views from

1887 (probably older) 

1895 

I can identify only two buildings on both photos, big changes in just ten years (possibily a bit more).

Hong Kong Panorama from Kowloon 1870's

Date picture taken (to nearest decade for older photos): 
1879

Cropped from https://gwulo.com/atom/25853 (or actually from the original files from the UK National Archives on Flickr. There are four separate sheets starting here.)

It is amazing what high-resolution photos were made in the 1870's.

I have annotated this photo and identified some buildings. However, I'm not 100% sure, and many buildings are unknown to.

My grandparents purchased this panorama photo (actually comprised of 3, glued together) from Ming Yuen Studio, 14, Beaconsfield Arcade, Hongkong (tel. 4310). The picture has been rolled up since the 1920s, hence the difficulties in makinhg a proper scan.
