I was looking for information about the Hong Kong Land Investment & Agency Co., which owned nos, 1, 2 and 3 Broadwood Road, I.L. 2039 in 1916, the company having bought the lot when Broadwood Road was created. John Charter's wartime journal for Wednesday, 9 June 1943 gives a good description of it. Did it become Hongkong Land?

Many thanks, David for the reference to this beautifully produced and illustrated anniversary publication, available to read as an e-book. It even contains a photo of my grandfather's executor's wife, Cecil Oonagh Lowe - a revelation to me. I'm sure many people will find it absorbing.
