Mt. Kellett Houses 1980 and 2017

Date picture taken (to nearest decade for older photos): 
1980

Top photo is Houses on the peak in clouds from 1980
Bottom photo is from 2017

Quite unusual for Hong Kong - not too many changes in 37 years.

The square looking building left is Vivian Court from 1961, the larger one to the right is Kellett Heights from 1965.
Building bottom right is Chelsea Court, built in 2001 - that's a new one!

Huge stone retaining wall near Mount Kellett [????- ]

Made of big boulders of natural rocks. What did this big hillside retaining wall seemingly in the middle of nowhere serve or protect?

Dunnottar and La Hacienda

The white bungalow to the lower left of centre is Donnottar. The large bungalow in the distance to the upper right of centre is La Hacienda. The view is south to Aberdeen Harbour and Ap Lei Chau from close to where Mount Kellett Road reaches Jardine's Corner. The date of 1918 is as posted on eternal 1966e.

Peak Mansions & Mount Kellett, c.1950

Image (external): 

A photo of Peak Mansions and Mount Kellett in the early Fifties. The Peak Cafe is visible in the foreground, and the ruins of the old Peak Hotel (which stopped operating in about 1936) can be seen on the left. Note that the top of Mount Kellett is intact; the top was removed later on when a reservoir (I think?) was built there.
