1906 View of Hong Kong from the harbour

Submitted by David on Fri, 2010-11-26 11:49

When: This comes from a collection of photos taken around the time of the 1906 typhoon, so I'll assume 1906 as the date.

Where: We're looking at the new Praya (Connaught Road) stretching from Pedder Street on the left across to Queen Victoria Street on the right, with mid-levels in the distance behind it.

What: Zoom in to the buildings on the left, we'll take a look along the seafront.

Plan of a typical tenement house in the congested district, built around 1903.  Note the windowless cubicles, deep room and poor daylight and ventilation in the living portion as well as in the kitchen. 

Some 30 adults and children survived in a space of just under 500 square feet.  (Taken from Nigel Cameron, "An illustrated History of Hong Kong"
