Peak Tramway - 3.2, Hong Kong, 1983

Submitted by Klaus on Wed, 2016-01-20 22:56

A photo taken from (quite likely) Barker Road. On the left-hand side is a house with a red roof, this is Villa Blanca (http://gwulo.com/node/5603).

Epworth Lodge is right-hand side of the tram station, for me it looks as if the house is without windows.

Text with this image: "The second of two images of the Peak Tramway from the same location, this one using a "normal" 50mm lens." (First one is http://gwulo.com/atom/23556) <Read more ...>

歲月神偷白加道纜車站 Barker Road Station 2008, Hong Kong Now and Then

Submitted by Klaus on Sat, 2016-01-02 00:31

Photos of the Barker Road station of the Peak Tram. The old photo is from the 1910s, the others are from 2008.

On the old one Glenshiel is visible behind the tracks, this likely sets the date to about 1915. On the 2008 one Epworth Lodge can be seen. <Read more ...>
