This was in an envelope of negatives labled "Mr. Johnson". They would have been kept by Mary Wright, wife of J.F. Wright, and taken when they lived in Hong Kong. I am curious about the date, and the tower to the right of the buildings. Also, I would be grateful if anyone could tag the buildings. That is beyond my level of expertese! I believe that the building above what is either a foundation or a tennis court is Creggan [RBL-8 is near Strawberry Hill, just off Plantation Road], built by Thomas Jackson - probably in 1877.

This picture was given to me and I am seeking to identify where it is. The only info I have on it is "circa 1900". I am guessing it is south China based on the visible shipping and style of dress of the people. However, the architecture, particularly the more western style building on the left hand side is unfamiliar... it does not seem like Hong Kong. Does anyone have any idea? Many thanks!
