Hi here is another photo of the Victoria Harbour view C. 1900, from this photo we can see the Central reclamation (which Connaught Road to be built) has just started, it began in around 1889 so I think 1900 is when this photo been taken. HD link: https://photos.app.goo.gl/LQLU6ZSVzYmGejmN6

Central praya C.1895

Submitted by Chris Chan on Thu, 2019-09-19 00:19

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

1895

Hello I am new in Gwulo.com and here is my first photo to share, it is an albumen photo showing panorama view of Victoria harbour in Central back in circa 1895. The following clues I found in this photo:

- The 2nd Gen. Central market has already built(at rightmost), so this photo at least taken after 1895

- There is no clue that the reclamation of Des Voeux Road has started yet, that means it was before 1889

I would like to hear anymore clue you guys found in this photo! <Read more ...>
