1956 - Causeway Road

This 1956 image of a tram traveling westwards along Causeway Road appears in: Waller, Peter, Lost Hong Kong. A History in Pictures, Blacksmith Books, Hong Kong 2019; and was in turn sourced from: W.J. Wyse/LRTA (London Area) Collection/Online Transport Archive.

The accompanying text reads: The Causeway Bay area recorded in 1956 sees the shacks of squatters on the hillside above the then new buildings. The lack of traffic – apart from the trams heading westbound along Causeway Road – is notable. The backdrop is now (2019) dominated by modern high-rise buildings.
