Construction of Roads in Hong Kong in the early 20th century

Let’s start with this photo from likely late 1915, which has been discussed on Gwulo lately. Besides the view of the just finished KCR Terminus building, it reveals a lot about road construction techniques in Hong Kong at the beginning of the 20th century.

Originally attributed to 1914, but the building is finished and the date is more likely end of 1915. Date adjusted.

Railway connection to the Kowloon Wharves under construction. Likely these track opened at the same time when the terminus opened.
