1976
Places shown in this photo: 
Bank of America Tower [1975- ]
PLA Central Barracks, previously HMS Tamar [????- ]
PLA Hong Kong Building, formerly named The Prince of Wales Building [1978- ]

Taken from Dragon House Victoria Barracks. Views of HMS Tamar and the beginnings of the Prince of Wales building. Also shown are the Bank of America tower and the Connaught building. In the Mid Ground are the beginnings of the Mass Transit System with Harcourt road and Queensway running either side. I believe the Lippo centre and other buildings are there now. The near ground shows 2 blocks of Victoria Barracks. (A & B but not sure)

A walk through Victoria Barracks

Submitted by David on Thu, 2007-08-30 08:00

A couple of weeks ago we traced the history of the Admiralty area, and saw how the land between Kennedy Road and Queensway used to be the British army’s Victoria Barracks. This time we’ll take a walk through what used to be the barracks, to see what’s there today. There are also a few questions along the way, that I hope you can help me with.
