This is from a 1959 tourist map. On the bottom right corner, it shows the race course as 'Happy Valley On Wong Nai Chong Valley'. I have marked this in blue hatching.
I wonder if the truncated triangular area to the north of the race course (where the footballer is) was a playing field at the time?
Similarly, was the kidney shaped area to the east of the triangular area also a playing field?
Also, what was the extent / boundary of the Tiger Balm Gardens? Right up to Caroline Road or just around the area where the pagoda and trees are shown? <Read more ...>
