Chater Garden and Hong Kong Hilton (1980)

Submitted by Klaus on Tue, 2015-04-21 17:00
Date picture taken (to nearest decade for older photos): 
1980
Places shown in this photo: 
Hilton Hotel [1963-1995]
Murray House - Murray Barracks Officer's Mess [1846-1982]
Murray Building (not Murray House which is now in Stanley) [1968- ]
HK Cricket Club pitch (1st location) [1851-1975]

I took this photo in the morning from our room at the (then) Furama Intercontinental. It was the first time in Hong Kong during daylighthours - so my main interest was the Peak and (I must admid) the buildings in the foreground were of little interest to me.

I know better now, so we see the Hilton Hotel, Murray House, Chater Garden, Murray Road Multi-Storey Car Park, and ,left of the Hilton, Murray Building. In between 1967 and 1980 the Hilton hotel lost its "Hongkong"
