Kirsty's family 0042 - Rockies beach Cheung Chau.jpg

This the view from a small beach below (to the east of) my grandparents' house, The Rockies, on Cheung Chau. You can see that there was another house above theirs, which is on the ridge line in the background. Probably the site of or close to the current Salesian Mission Retreat on Don Bosco Road. This would have been taken between 1946 and 1953, which was the period when they lived there. Does anyone know anything about that other house?

A view of my grandparents' house "The Rockies" and the house above it, on Cheung Chau. I presume that the inscription "45,000 sq ft" on the back of the photo refers to the area of the land they bought. This would have been taken between 1946 and 1953, which was the period when they lived there. Does anyone know anything about that other house?

Does anyone know where this beach is? I'm pretty sure the photo was taken on Cheung Chau.

Compare this to "Seascape peninsula NB rocks.gif" to confirm the location of the house on the site of what is now Seascape Peninsula apartments on Cheung Chau.
