#87 Praya East (Johnston Road) Inquiry

Submitted by rickygwulo on Tue, 04/24/2018 - 10:22

Hi Everyone,

I'm new here at GWULO and I find this website very informative and educational. I have an inquiry about an old address which I find very difficult to locate

since I always get confused about old Hong Kong map markings (M.L.  and I.L.) versus original street numbers before and after the reclamations

period. I am specifically looking for #87 Praya East (Johnston Road). I've read in this website that the renovated The Woo Cheong Pawn shop (now The Pawn Restaurant) is #60-66 Johnston Road. Will it be safe fo me to assume that #87 Johnston Road was located between Tai Wong St E and Amoy Street?

Thank you for your assistance on my inquiry. Cheers!

Thank you Herostratus for your reply. Regarding #87 Praya East (Johnston Road) year, I'd like to narrow it

down to year 1903-1904.

 

Also, I'd like to inquire if #27, Praya Central and #61, Queen's Road Central points to the correct

address of the Hong Kong Hotel (now Central Building?) in July 1894.

 

Thank you. Cheers!

Ricky
