Causeway Bay 1869.jpg

One is looking at Wanchai. The white two storey buildings on the left is on Spring Garden Lane.  At the end of the buildings is Cross Street. Moving east, Cross Street meets up with Wanchai Road. The hill on the right is Hospital Hill. Morrison Hill is behind. Causeway Bay is behind Morrison Hill.

Update after tngan's comment:

The road that makes a left, then right turn should be Johnston Road, after the second turn Hennessy Road (probably not having this name then). In the left back is Kellett Island.

Hi Klaus,

In this photo, Johnston Road was the sea front.  Hennessy Road did not exist yet.

Moddsey, good find. I was quite sure that this photo was uploaded to Gwulo, but I didn't find it (althought it was posted by myself). 

Looking at the buildings, they do not differ so much on the one attributed to 1869 and the one to 1910. Possibly both photos are closer together regarding the dates they were taken.

Here is another similar photo, attributed to the 1910s. Looks quite different compared to the two others.

 And one more:

Photo date is sometime in the 1890s rather than 1869
