Ice Works Causeway Bay - Conveyor Belt

Date picture taken (to nearest decade for older photos): 
1973

Aerial photographs of the western part of Victoria Park where the Ice Works Causeway Bay (Dairy Farm) were located.

tngan reported that the ice works had a conveyor belt across the canal and further to the seashore.

This is shown in the upper photo from 1968 (merged from two aerial photos that were taken from different angles so that they do not match perfectly).

This part of an aerial photograph taken by the R.A.F. in 1945 is intended to show the pre-war and wartime installations at Little Sai Wan.  It is believed that the camp road was put in by the japanese who maintained a small wireless unit on the site of the pre-war British one.  The zig zag path up the ridge was probably built by the British to connect the Lyon Light engine/generator house on the coast with the Lyon Light building higher up on the ridge (still there in 2020).
