(Upper) Tai Ping Shan District demolished after the 1894-outbreak. The exact year of the upper photo is yet to be found out. Can only narrow down to: c.1895 (according to A Century of HK Roads and Streets), pre-1905 (opening of Blake Garden), c.1901 (American Board Mission Building certainly came into existence).
Purple: American Board Mission Building
Blue: Tank Lane
Green: U Lam Terrace (to-be-constructed) and Rozario Street
Yellow: upper section of Market Street (later renamed as Po Hing Fong)
Date picture taken (to nearest decade for older photos):
1950
PMQ on the right, showing the date of the photo should be in or after 1951. American Board Mission Building (at Bridges Street / Ladder Street junction), and YMCA (on Bridges Street) can also be seen. <Read more ...>
