#10 - Squatter village below Mount Davis (8,792 views)
This newsletter showed a 1974 photo of shacks on the hillside, and talked about the squatter village they were part of.
60 years ago, Ms. Lorraine J. Ford visited Hong Kong. She signed up for a sight-seeing tour, and captured these scenes on Kodachrome slides.

I guess the tour started as most do, with a visit to the Peak. We don't know if she took any photos there, but she did take several scenes as the tour bus drove along Stubbs Road to Happy Valley.
The first of her slides I have shows the view looking out across Wanchai and Causeway Bay.

#10 - Ferry Routes (11,740 views)
IDJ created this page to gather information about Hong Kong's disappearing ferry services. Old maps show the harbour criss-crossed with ferry routes, but the ferries have gone out of business as passengers and vehicles moved to the new tunnels.
