In 1927 the local governmnet installed a new patented type of gas lamp at the traffic circle near the  Queen Victoria monument and statue in Central. The design of the suspended lamp, manufactued in Britain, was known as the "Rochester" . The lamp could be raised and lowered by special gear allowing the riigid  piping to move up and down without gas leakages.

1900s Elgin Road

On Flickr attributed to the 1920s, but Elgin Road became Haiphong Road already in 1909. Possibly taken from Robinson/Nathan Road. 

There is a gas lamp in front of the houses. Public Works Report for 1892 states the erection of gas lamps on this road.

Possible gas lamp post on Yu Po Lane East, next to Island Crest in Sai Ying Pun.

(I am unsure if the lane had been removed from the official Street Index.)
