Re: 1969 Happy Valley/
Hi there,
I could see quite a lot of old stuffs in the photo:
1. The previous version of the Happy Valley Race Course. You should be able to see a white strip slicing through the grass. That was the previous entrace/exit to the lawn in the middle;
2. The previous version of Sports Drive;
3. The old Hong Kong Football Club Stadium;
4. The HQ of the Volunteers right next to the HKFC Stadium;
5. The construction site of the SKH Tang Siu Kin Secondary School, in the location of the flattened Morrison Hill;
6. The AIA Building on Stubbs Road
7. The previous version of Craigengower Cricket Club;
8. The previous military version of the Leighton Hill;
9. The previous version of Causeway Bay Typhoon Shelter;
10. The neon sign of the then Daimaru Department Store;
11. The hotel building housing the old New China News Agency;
12. The Sikh Temple (next to the AIA building)
13. The Tram Depot (now Times Square)
Best Regards,

Daimaru Department Store
Would really love a skyline image of the Daimaru Department Store neon sign that I grew up looking at from our balcony in Shiu Fai Terrace ( c. 1969).
Where abouts in the photo is this sign exactly?
re: Daimaru
Search finds a couple more photos
Daimaru
I think you might be able to see the fuzzy Neon Structure of japanese characters just slightly a bit up and right of the dead centre of the picture.
Regards
