Not much recognisable today. HK Electric's power station is extreme right belching out smoke from its chimney. Taikoo dockyard can be seen in the distance. A reservoir high on the hillside would have been a danger to those below if its walls were ever to breach.

Hi there,

I wonder if the open space east of the oil storage was Luna Park.  Couldn't make out any features there but if the time frame was right, it should be somewhere around there.

There also were lots of squatterred huts on the slopes on both sides and above the Fortress Street blocks.
