There is a fairly large wall infront of U-Lam Terrace just below Caine road. The wall, I believe, is vey old. Does anyone has an older picture, from the past, of this place ? What could have been standing there before ?
Your kind help and input is very much appreciated. Thank you.

Re: U Lam Terrace
Hi There,
I believe the OLD wall is hiding behind the new reinforced concrete wall. Such old walls of that period may be built by granite blocks, maybe similar to those shown on the upper right of your photo, or of more cube like blocks,

before U Lam Terrace
In 1890's, before becoming U Lam Terrace, the area was divided as I.L. 405, 420 and 421, which are different from the present I.L. numbers.
From Government Gazette (2nd Feb 1895):
I.L. 405: In 1885-1895, owned by "The procurator in HK for the Dominican Missions in the Far East", used as "Chinese lodging house”.
I.L. 420: In 1880-1895, owned by "Dominican Missions and The procurator in HK for the Dominican Missions in the Far East", used as "Coolie lodging houses".
I.L. 421: in 1877-1895, owned by "The procurator in HK for the Dominican Missions in the Far East", used as “coolie lodging house”.
