Building above the end of Spring Garden Lane

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

Cropped from Spring Garden Lane 1930's.jpg.

Very distinctive building with large central balconies, probably on Kennedy Road. Think the original photo was taken from Spring Garden Lane just north of the bend, the smaller lane should be Sam Pan Street. Up on the hill in this direction would be Hysan Lee family mansion, but I'm not sure.

Any help is welcome.

Junction of Kennedy Road and Garden Road [c.1878- ]

Submitted by Klaus on Thu, 2021-07-29 20:54
Date Place completed: 
c.1878-01-01 (Year, Month, Day are approximate)

Kennedy Road was the second east-west road in Hong Kong. PWR for 1876 mentions the construction of this road. Garden Road already appears on the 1866 map. So the junction was built likely in the late 1870s. 

The junction drastically changed over the years, mainly after the construction of Cotton Tree Drive.

When did the east end of Kennedy Road move further along QRE

Submitted by murraytravel on Fri, 2019-07-19 17:54

I have an old Hong Kong map (before 1940) which shows the east end of Kennedy Road joining Queens Road East just next to Wanchai gap Road.

As we know it is now it now joins QRE about a hundred yards further east just below Wah yan College.

When did this move did place and why?

Thanks,

john Murray
