Re: Happy Valley - Date?
Hi there,
If compared with the Happy Valley photos in the screen, the photo above is a bit later than the 1946 ones.

Re: Date
Defintiely postwar. Probably early 1950s judging from the presence of the Link Road/Leighton Hill Government Quarters.
Date
Very definitely post-war. Two further clues are the totalisator in the race course and the open nullah running down Village Road.
Re: Date
The first two blocks of the Link Road/Leighton Hill Government Quarters (north side) as seen in the photo were completed in 1948. (Source Legco Meeting 1 DEC 1948).
Due to the collapse of the air raid tunnels underneath the south side of the hill, a third block could not be built as back filling of the tunnels was required.
I'll put a generic 1950s date
I'll put a generic 1950s date on it. Thanks
Date
Yes. I think the tote was erected in 1951 so the photo is post this year, and from memory the open nullah was decked sometime in 1956-58.
Anyone know what were those
Anyone know what were those buildings before Fung Fai Court, Mayfair Court and Beverly House were erected in 3-6 of Fung Fai Terrace? Thank you.
before Fung Fai Court, etc.
Before the current buildings, there was a line of pairs of residential buildings, built to the same design. See https://gwulo.com/node/19733 and https://gwulo.com/node/19733/photos
Thanks Dave, I saw somewhere
Thanks Dave, I saw somewhere it says that area had been a school site/staff residence of Lingnan school sometime in the 1920s.
