Hong Kong in 1923 (Praya Central)

Text on Flickr:

A photograph of part of Hong Kong taken in 1923 - note the recently built Cenotaph commemorating the dead of the Great War. This was in fact constructed in 1923, and is almost an exact replica of the Cenotaph in Whitehall, London which was designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens (1869-1944).

Date picture taken (to nearest decade for older photos):

HK view, Oct. 1981

View from the Peak Tower or a place nearby. Taken about 14 months later than http://gwulo.com/atom/23793. Tregunter Blocks are built completely. Note the progress just in front of #1 Garden Terrace (花園台) - 8 Old Peak Road [1983- ], Garden Terrace Block 1 is under construction, and Blocks 2 and 3 just started. Behind Garden Terrace the upper part of Villa Elegance (1 Robinson Road) is visible.
