Tung Chung Wooden Pier/Bridge at Ma Wan Chung Village [????- ]

Submitted by tngan on Mon, 2009-10-26 02:05

Hi there,

From my observation the pier/bridge had once collasped, but villagers had laid on new planks.  I wished I had took some photos more than 30 years ago when I was there in a school picnic.

Best Regards

Yee Wo Street, Causeway Bay [1902- ]

Hi there,

The tag shows the approximate location possible for the Booths to turn right into Kai Chiu Road in their Ford.  I'm pretty sure the layout of the building close to the Jardine's Bazzar/Yee Wo street was different then as that triangular building is blocking the way nowadays and does not allow traffic from turning right/South on Yee Wo Street anywhere.

The Dragon Seed Company [1966-2008]

I am not sure about the 1950's, but from my childhood in the 1960's, the construction site shown in the photo below was where the Dragon Seen Company located.  That's the corner of Li Yuen Street East and Queen's Road Central. The construction site caused a mud slide last year, made a few of those pai dong in ruin.  I remember somebody fell into the hole....... but was soon rescued.

Kadoorie Beach, Tuen Mun, 18-3/4 Milestone [????- ]

Submitted by tngan on Mon, 2008-11-03 15:10

Tag location corrected.  Believe me or not, I managed to dig out a map dated 1990 with the right information.  Back then before the Golden Coast was developed there was the Gordon Hard & the Perowne Barracks in the So Kwun Wat area.  No wonder they have a military coach going to and from the city area.
