The landslide on the left is from 1926, but Aigburth Hall (1927) isn't there, so that dates it to 1926/27. Log in or register to post comments Great detective work moddsey! Great detective work moddsey! This pre-war photo of Hong Kong from the harbour has the number 64 appendaged to the title. Contrast with photo above numbered 65. Part of a commercial series?

Yes, the harbour photos appear to have come in a series, sequential or not in numbering I cannot really say.

The landslide on the left is from 1926, but Aigburth Hall (1927) isn't there, so that dates it to 1926/27.
