Date picture taken (to nearest decade for older photos):
A great view of (Old) Peak Road in 1919. One of a group I found taken at the time of the Peace Celebrations.
On the far left the garden of Mr Brewin's House,
I'm guessing the house to the left as called Valverde - one of the managers for Hong Kong land lived there.
Tregunter is the 3 story block, and there's a second block above and behind it, at right angles.
To the right of that is Friston Cottage, which was damaged in WWII.
The house in the center is on the site of Abermore Court (1905-1930).
At the bottom is Clovelly, which faces onto the LRC. <Read more ...>
