You can see that I could stand close to the pillar, though its base was still submerged in the sea.

The structure under construction in the background is the bridge stretching across Junk Bay.

1966 Connaught Road Central Reclamation

Old and new houses on Connaught Road Central.

Sincere Department Store under demolition. It looks as if the part at Connaught Road is already gone while the part at Des Voeux Road still stands.

The place where the Beautiful Group Tower will be built (starting 1971) is already cleared from the older houses.

On the left side, Connaught Building is under construction.
