Mt. Kellett Houses 1980 and 2017

Submitted by Klaus on Wed, 2021-04-07 00:36
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?

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.  

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

Peak Mansions [1928-1990]
