Pagoda napkin.jpg

This napkin, featuring a pagoda, was part of a set bought by my mother in 1949 - perhaps from Whiteaway & Laidlaw on HK Island. I was 2 years old at the time. Despite recent downsizings, the napkin has survived as a treasured memory.

Can anyone identify this street on Hong Kong island?

This is a picture of a Hong Kong street in the 1940s that I found many years ago. I no longer have a link to it.  I believe it was in the public domain then.

Can anyone put a name to it?

1946 View from Midlevels

This photo is the same as Naval Dockyard & Kowloon-1949, but with much higher resolution. 

Regarding the looted house, a 1946 date is probably more appropriate than 1949. 

Below the boat pool/camber, a few Nissen huts are visible, but much less compared to the 1950's.

A bit poor in quality, but the main features are visible. From right to left:

Richmond House has already been demolished, Altadena, Cragside, and even Victoria Hospital still standing.
