A man is walking along Plantation road which turns sharp left just after Bicton/Burrington (in the center). The road visible in the background is Pollock's Path. Severn road goes downhill between Red Hill in the foreground and Burrington
I would say this picture must have been taken about 1916 +- one year. My mother was born there in 1919, and Bicton was sold app. 1923 when the family went back to Norway.
Thanks, from my research, please validate the following if possible ?
"2 Pollock's Path" (once known as "Bicton") "44 Plantation Road" (once known as "Burrington")
The semi-detached properties, Bicton and Burrington, built around 1910, as part of RBL 1.
In 1945, a new semi-detached properties were re built, and the Date of Occupation was Jan 1945.
It was owned and inhabited from 1914 to 1920 by Mr. Sorenson and sold it to Mr. Stuart Seguin Strahan in 1920.
Mr. Stuart Seguin Strahan lived there with his wife Olivia until 1939, and sold it some time after WW2.
Mr. Henry Fok, bought Bicton in 1960 from the US government, and Dr. Hans Tang bought Burrington in 1966. Burrington was left empty for many years, there was an approval in 2020 from the Government to rebuild it, but up to now, no progress.
Bicton was transferred between Henry Fok's family member, in 2022 for HK$370 million.
