Lovely clear view of these houses from this Hedda Morrison original.  The absence of vegetation from the war years gives the scene the appearance of a model.

In the picture below I have blurred the background of my crop to give a better idea of how the houses sat on Broadwood Ridge, and the commanding 360 views they enjoyed not only from the front to Happy Valley and the Peak and rear to the So Kon Po Valley, Mount Butler and Jardine's Lookout but also north to Kowloon and the harbour and south to the Wong Nei Chung gap.  These elegant colonial-style houses were built with the wealthy in view.
