Overhead Ropeway 1963/69

1969

Two aerial photographs of the overhead ropeway at Green Island Cement Company.

Upper photo from 1963
Lower photo from 1969

Possibly for land sale of parts of their site near Ma Tau Wei Road the ropeway was modified. The ropeway was not just shortened, but also moved some 10 meters to the southeast. This can be seen on this photo  where the situation from 1963 is compared to the one in 1969.

Shows the arial ropeway at the Green Island Cement Company. The ropeway ends at a long shed (inside the red circle). 

Fortunately, the sun is quite low so one can see the shadows of both pylons and rope.

Would this be the Taikoo Aerial Ropeway? Looks like Quarry Gap in the distance.
