We hired a photographer to take this picture of our family house (japanese style house with red tile roof) on Island Road, Deep Water Bay in the 1980s. This photo was taken from a helicopter. The groups of low rise apartments named Deepdene still stands today - our house was just across the road to it.

regards, David

I think this photo must have been considerably earlier than 1982. The Seaview Promenade looks to be missing here, but it was shown clearly in 1981
Lowrise
Was the pink-roofed building immediately left of the long red-roofed house (No. 35 Island Rd) a block of lowrise flats?
The current generation of 39A was not yet constructed at the time of this picture.
