I have just discovered this picture, taken in about 1943 with todays Central superimposed.

I think the man wearing the white gloves is Rensuke Isogai.

If anyone recognises the original source, please let us have a link to their website in the comments below.

Marine Lot 111 as in 1936-45

Submitted by Edmond on Tue, 2013-11-05 20:30

On a survey sheet in "Mapping Hong Kong" page 167, Marine Lot 111 was sub-divided, and Mallory Street was built between Marine Lots 110 and 111.   It appears the sub-divided lots, namely 2253, 2254 and 2255 came from the mother lot ---- Marine Lot 111.
