Perkins Road [????- ]

Does anyone know the origin of the name Perkins Road? It's in a book called Hong Kong's street names and their origins but that book is unobtainable for me. I lived on that road from 1980-1982 in Cavendish Heights and we share the same name so it's always been a point of curiosity. 

Thanks

Great, thanks! Do you have any idea when it was built or when that area was developed? It had some nice houses up there but it seemed younger than the Peak despite being called Jardine's Lookout (which is apparently an erronious designation).
