1920s Peak view

View on Victoria Gap with Peak Tram. In the center Barker Road is crossing. Interesting to see a pavillion in front of Glenshiel, and a building behind.

Date is set to 1920, could be later.

Date picture taken (to nearest decade for older photos): 
1920

1954 Fenwick Street

Different era. Like the traffic pagoda and pillar box. Looks like Fenwick Street with the Sailor's Home and Mission to Seamen at top left.

1951 Kai Tak Airport

An interesting photo showing a Pan Am DC4 being serviced and the Observatory's meteorological equipment in the foreground. At the back, next to the hangars are several wing-less CNAC/CATC C-46 aircraft with ownership under dispute.

1958 Royal yacht club

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.
