Those buildings to the left, were they the buildings of an early hospital ? That must be the location of Victoria View Point ? Thank you and have a good day. Daniel
Noticed the photo also appears in the Hong Kong Public Library (HKPL) with caption: Tsim Sha Tsui Bay, Kowloon. Circa 1870. Source not given.
HKPL Image notes: View (from) north towards the hill, later to be named Signal Hill on Blackhead Point. A few matshed buildings mark the sparse occupation. Kowloon was only ceded to Britain 10 years before. In the coming years, the reclamation would straighten the beach line and Salisbury Road would be constructed upon it.
