Breamar Hill 1972 - 1.jpeg

1972

I purchased the Aerial photograph from the HK Gov't Map office to understand the area which I work in, Braemar Hill.  On the Photo, it's stated that it was taken in 1972, prior to the draining and development of Braemar Hill Mansions. It's interesting to note in the south west corner, which is bounded by Hau Yuen Path and Wai Tsui Crescent , it appears to be containers - why they would be located here seems odd. In the furthest southwest corner is the old squatter village Nga Choi Hang, which emptied out about 1994, and remained empty after the mysterious fire of 1995.

Peninsula Hotel 1930.JPG

When Peninsula Hotel was built in 1928 by The Hong Kong & Shanghai Hotels, it must have been one of the most conspicuous presence at Tsim Sha Tsui.

The photo was taken in 1930, in front of the rail road along the sea shore, this building stood out at Tsim Sha Tsui. This is one of my favorite photo.
