Enquiry - Evolution of Kowloon City (Lung Shing)

Submitted by Pang Chor Kiu V... on Sun, 2019-09-15 08:42 
Kowloon City (especially the currently Lung Shing constituence) has quite a interesting history. I learnt that the area was previously scattered with several villages and later there is a development of the Kowloon Street (a local market); and then a pier that links to it. The Kai Dak reclamation also took several stages to be completed.

#422 Prince Edward Road West, Kowloon City [????-2016]
Kowloon City Police Station (2nd generation) [1925-1942]

Not often seen in photographs. Prince Edward Road West near the Kai Tak developments, mostly demolished by the Japanese in 1942 to extend Kai Tak Airport. The building at the end of the road I presume is Kowloon City Police Station or government offices. Corrections invited.
