Texaco Oil Depot [1936-1988]

Taken in the late 1960's. Perhaps the storage tanks are at Lai Chi Kok/Mei Fu ? One seems to have a 'Caltex' star symbol and there is what looks like an LPG spherical storage tank in the centre of the pic.

Hi all, my first post here. Can anyone identify where this photo was taken?

It was uploaded by H. Grobe to the Wikimedia Commons under a free licence with no information attached other than the date, 1965. I've been trying to add the location, but I'm stumped!

I have poked around numerous locations on Google Earth including Aberdeen, Wah Fu/Cyberport, Tuen Mun, island east, Tsing Yi, Sai Kung...but nothing stands out in particular. Made more difficult by the reclamation and the fact that these buildings have likely been redeveloped.

The photo is dated October 1960. For reference, the first of two Cathay Pacific turboprop Electra aircraft were delivered on 14 April 1959. The China Mail of the same day refers.

Squatter Huts, 'H' Blocks & Early Resettlement Blocks - late 1960's.

Submitted by harryhktc on Sat, 2013-12-07 23:49
Date picture taken (to nearest decade for older photos): 
1960

Can't recall the exact location, but taken in the late 1960's.

Could be Wong Tai Sin or perhaps Ngau Tau Kok ?

Perhaps the small pagoda in the centre foreground may provide a clue ?
