Houses behind HSBC Building

Submitted by Klaus on Sun, 2015-07-05 21:09
Date picture taken (to nearest decade for older photos): 
1939
Places shown in this photo: 
Richmond House, Barker Road [????- ]
Branksome Towers [1918-1975]

This is cropped from http://gwulo.com/atom/21801. The building in the center quite near to the top seems to be Richmond House (1st generation). Right hand side (near to the bottom) could be Branksome Towers.

Others in the Carlberg album are dated 1950, this one might be a bit earlier as there is nothing to see from the Bank of China Building.

H.K. from the harbour

Found this one among the "Carlberg photos" . Others in this album are dated 1950, this one might be a bit earlier as there is nothing to see from the Bank of China Building.

After moddsey's comment I changed the date to 1939.

Alice Dyer to Alexander Laihovetsky, letter 1, 1931

1931

I think Alice was probably the wife of the Kowloon Docks manager.

Captain Alexander Laihovetsky lived in HK from about 1919-42, apart from a period in the 1920s when he took his family to Canada chicken-farming - probably the reason he came to be considered an "expert" on chickens. He even kept chickens on his ship.
