Cropped from Panorama of city from peak circa 1875.

Fortunately this is a high resolution photo, therefore I could use it for annotation of buildings on Queen’s Road Central. Recently, many places have been identified, this annotated copy shall give an overview with a bird’s eye view. The house numbers used are from the Index of the streets, house numbers and lots of the city of Victoria ... in the colony of Hong Kong (hku.hk) (1937). Streets are marked in red.
