Panorama of HK from Lugard Road Oct 1981.jpg

Submitted by peakchild on Sat, 2016-01-09 00:19
Date picture taken (to nearest decade for older photos): 
1981
Places shown in this photo: 
31, Lugard Road [????-c.1984]
Pinewood Battery [1905- ]

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.

Diesel locomotive 东风 0149 (DF 0149) and train.I believe that this photo shows the "second" of the two daily "intercity" trains to Guangzhou.

 My notes confirm the location as Sheung Shui (上水) station. I believe that this train was working northward.

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.
