Bowrington Canal c.1910.
From looking at David's 1957 Map of Hong Kong's northshore, I think this photo was taken from the canal crossing at Russell Street where the canal's alignment lines up with Lion Rock. It is rare to find a Hong Kong street photo that shows this hill. Notice the air quality and clarity of the photo.

Thanks moddsey for the feedback. Before posting this photo, I used the search feature to make sure the photo has not been already posted. The canal-Lion Rock alignment is what drew my interest. I think land reclamation for the next three roads north of Hennessy occurred after the photo was taken. Regards, Peter
