c.1900 View over Garden Road

Submitted by David on Fri, 2010-02-05 12:53

Here's a view over Garden Road, taken around 1900.

The pitched roofs in the bottom right corner are the old terminus building for the Peak Tram. A tram was in the station when this photo was taken.

Behind the terminus are some large trees, and behind that appears to be the roof of a temporary matshed structure.

Next is St John's Cathedral

Chinese lady with children on corner of Pottinger Street

One of the children on this picture is wearing a sailor suit and I am wondering if the Chinese lady on the left could be an amah or a relation. Anybody got any ideas. The picture is in the HK Public Record office and I have also seen it on other websites.
