Kennedy Road was the second east-west road in Hong Kong. PWR for 1876 mentions the construction of this road. Garden Road already appears on the 1866 map. So the junction was built likely in the late 1870s.
The junction drastically changed over the years, mainly after the construction of Cotton Tree Drive. <Read more ...>
Recently I posted an old photo of John Thomson 1868. I was not quite sure where to place the location. It was written Happy Valley on it.
Marlowe did send me thankfully an answer on the location of the old photo, that it must be Garden Road. Here I found the same location from before and how it looks today. It's definately Garden Road. Once again, thank you Marlowe.
I'm taking the opportunity here to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Healthy and Happy New Year.
This is another of a set of negatives I recently got-they seem to be from somewhere around 1953-54. As the Peak Tram is visible here, I can get a rough idea of where this photo was taken from, but what is this building on the left,with the barbed wire around it? <Read more ...>
