Hung Hom peninsula after the dockyard closed. The dockyard's staff-quarters blocks, old and new, are in the centre along with the obligatory company team's lawn bowls green, and a swimming pool. Dyer Avenue and a CLP sub-station that still exists are on the right. In the foreground Tai Wan Shan swimming pool complex that also still exists. Most of this area is now covered by the Whampoa Gardens estates.

There were dockyards here from the 1850s:

Built by John Lamont, in the 1850s, the first dock [to the west] was known as the Lamont Dock and proved highly successful. In the early 1860's, Lamont added another dock to his enterprise, the Hope Dock [to the east], but before the latter was finished, both docks were bought, in 1865, by the large and very successful firm, the Hong Kong and Whampoa Dock Co. of Hung Hom.
