1958 Royal yacht club

Submitted by Klaus on Sun, 2015-11-29 02:31

This image shows almost the same perspective as http://gwulo.com/atom/23156, only without a house in the foreground. It shows the white building at the end of the pier, and the Royal Yacht Club. In the background is Hot's Wharf and the Peninsula hotel. This one was taken later as there are already extensions around Kellett Island.

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

1958

Places shown in this photo:

Kellett Island [????- ]

Holt's Wharf [1910-c.1971]

The Peninsula Hotel [1927- ]

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

1980

Places shown in this photo:

Altadena House [1974- ]

Cragside Mansion [1975- ]

31 Barker Road (2nd generation Richmond House?) [c.1952-c.1999]

This one was shot quite likely from the same spot as the others in this series. Unfortunately, its a bit too bright.

Clear visible right hand side on the slope there is a brownish/reddish building, this is Altadena House (finished 1974) at 27, Barker Road. Behind that is Cragside Mansion at 23, Barker Road. In front of Altadena is a a two-storey building with a flag. Below is a detail from the 1980 picture, and below that one is a detail from a 2014 picture. The house in front is a new one, these are Richmond Houses at 31, Barker Road. <Read more ...>

Anyone know it's history? A map of Wan Chai in a book: Year 1961 published by Wah Kiu Yat Po 華僑日報 showed this place. Also a catholic Brother and a priest died in this hospital:
