Submitted by 70s kid on Thu, 2011-02-17 03:41
Date picture taken (to nearest decade for older photos): 
1977

Central and HMS Tamar 1976

Submitted by 70s kid on Thu, 2011-02-17 03:22
Date picture taken (to nearest decade for older photos): 
1976
Places shown in this photo: 
Bank of America Tower [1975- ]
PLA Central Barracks, previously HMS Tamar [????- ]
PLA Hong Kong Building, formerly named The Prince of Wales Building [1978- ]

Taken from Dragon House Victoria Barracks. Views of HMS Tamar and the beginnings of the Prince of Wales building. Also shown are the Bank of America tower and the Connaught building. In the Mid Ground are the beginnings of the Mass Transit System with Harcourt road and Queensway running either side. I believe the Lippo centre and other buildings are there now. The near ground shows 2 blocks of Victoria Barracks. (A & B but not sure)
