Can anyone identify the position of the British Naval Hospital on the Peak. I believe it was somewhere just across the "Jardines Bridge" - my mother was the first 'female' baby born there in 1932! I am not sure, but I think there may be part of the original plinth the hospital was built on, still existing?

Dear David,
I was wondering if I could have the PDF file for this map?
I can help type a page of the Juror's List if it would be of any help.

1960 Changes to Road Names on the Peak
China Mail 7 July 1960
With effect from 1 September 1960, the following roads were renamed:
a)Stubbs Road from Wanchai Gap to the Upper Peak Tram Station will be known as Peak Road;
b) Existing Peak Road from Upper Peak Tram Station to Victoria Peak will be known as Mount Austin Road;
c) Old Peak Road is the new name for the road from Robinson Road to Victoria Gap;
d) Aberdeen Road for its entire length will be known as Peel Rise and
e)Tanderagee Road will be known as Pollock's Path.
Peel Rise
I wonder why they named Aberdeen Street after Governor William Peel thirty years or so after he retired, unless part of it was already named that.
Tanderagree Road was obviously named after the house at the end of it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Pollock died in 1953.
