Royal liveries on trams

Submitted by Joseph on Thu, 2012-10-18 00:07

There were three trams decorated in British colonial style welcoming the Royal Houses. In November 1961 tram 200 covered by "Welcoming to H.R.H. Princess Alexandra" with illuminations and coloured ribbons. In 1977 tram 22 designated for the Silver Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II, and 1986 on tram 144 for the re-visit of The QEII in mid-October 1986. Year 2012 is the Diamond Jubilee however no more Royal liveries on trams.  

c.1905 Tram ticket

Places shown in this photo: 
The Metropole Hotel / Belle View Hotel / North Point Hotel, North Point [1898-????]
Observation Place [????- ]

Thanks to Joseph Tse for this photo. He notes that the company name, "Electric Traction Company of Hong Kong" dates the ticket to between 1904-6.

Does anyone know where Observation Place was? I've got a feeling it was in Wanchai, but can't remember where I saw that.

We have a Place for the Metropole Hotel, and the "New Docks" should be Taikoo.

Regards, David

c.1925 Happy Valley

Submitted by David on Tue, 2012-09-04 17:00

Where: Looking south along Wong Nei Chung Road in Happy Valley. On the left of the road is the racecourse, while behind the walls on the right are several cemeteries.

The ornate stone gateway in the right foreground was the entrance to St Michael's Roman Catholic Cemetery. The cemetery is still there, but we've lost the old wall and gateway to a later road-widening:
