Kowloon Tong Garden City - Panorama Photo of Planned Site.

Mon, 05/04/2020 - 15:30

This photograph, taken about  in about 1921, shows the farming land which was  to be developed by the Kowloon Tong  Company , providing some 250 houses for familes at "affordable rentals and amid proper surroundings". In 1924 it was reported that the project had been delayed  by worker unrest but was still proceeding slowly with the first  twenty units perhaps ready by mid-year. Cutting across the picture from left to right is the Kowloon Canton Ralway embankment, seen curving as it approaches the Beacon Hill tunnel.
