roadside view 1997

This photo across the valley was apparently taken from the base of the front steps of the newly built Broadview Villa, 20 Broadwood Road in 1997 by my cousin who had lived next door to the original 20 Broadwood Road as a child. He had left Hong Kong in 1938. The legend on the back of the photo, written by his sister, recalls that, instead of the railings, there had used to be thick bushes and trees on the bank all the way down to the Happy Valley Race Course, of which there had been a good view.
