Comments

The City Hall roof - NW and west wing appears to be damaged. Typhoon? Renovation? I've not seen this before. This should give a more precise dating.

Also the Hong Kong Cricket Club pitch is not kitted out for cricket but more for tennis. So presume it's not 'cricket season' (tends to be September to April in Hong Kong)?
