moddsey posted a 1966 image of Humphreys Avenue, Kowloon. It rang a bell with me but it has taken me until now to find out why.

David mentioned that there was a Warren or Olsen at an even number of Wanchai Road in 1918 - and since my digging at the PRO yesterday involved me finding the odd numbers of the same road in the Rate Books for that year, I thought I'd post this.  It probably should be with another posting, but I'm pretty proud of myself for just getting this far.  Will read the instructions next.  (Sorry David!)

c.1917 View over Happy Valley and Causeway Bay

Submitted by David on Fri, 2013-10-11 16:00

Where: This view looks east from the hill above the cemeteries in Happy Valley. The wooded slopes on the left are Morrison Hill, when it was still a hill! Across to their right is an open area used for sports grounds, then right again we can see the edge of the race-track.

Across the middle of the photo run more wooded hillsides - Leighton Hill on the right, and on the left the hill where Jardine Matheson had several grand buildings. Then above that is the old typhoon shelter, today the site of Victoria Park.
