This picture was orginally taken as a set of four single pictures that I have merged to one panorama picture. Sorry for the stains on the original pictures.
It was taken from the living room of our house at 31, Lugard Road by my father in 1981.
It shows Kennedy Town and the much wider harbour at the eighties.
Also the fortress on Hatton Road is on the picture and to the left Green Island. Straight ahead towards Kowloon is Stonecutters Island. <Read more ...>
This is from our first visit to Hong Kong in August 1980. One of the highlights was the view from the peak tower overlooking Central and Kowloon. We were highly impressed by the large numbers of skyscrapers. <Read more ...>
Date picture taken (to nearest decade for older photos):
1980
Passport stamps from my first visit to Hong Kong. We came from London via Bombay on August 8th, 1980 and left for Guangzhou (with KCR) on the 9th. We returned from China by rail on the 23rd, stayed a week, and left on the 30th. <Read more ...>
