I take it that 'CVM Cottage number 1' refers to House 10 as per the ground plan.
A lot of new information. No surprises in the description of materials. Really as we had guessed, except for the double layer of tiles.
The accounts have said the land was cheap. Now we know - 1 cent per square foot.
Cost price $2035. I didn't realise the currency was Mexican dollars at that time. Equivalent to £200 sterling.
How did that compare to HK/ the Peak prices?
Details for the second site (House 9) appended.
The ground rent was collected by the Cheung Chau police sergeant.
