The latest Gwulo video explores this view from the 1930s. We start off by concentrating on the buildings facing us along Connaught Road - what was there in the 1930s, and how they've changed since.
There are a few asides, as usual, including a look at why this Star Ferry was so different…
… and what happened to Statue Square during WW2.
Then we take a look at a few of the buildings in mid-levels that caught my eye, and that helped narrow down the possible dates the photo was taken.
Here's the video with the full story. (If the video player isn't shown below, please click here to watch it on Youtube.)
Correction: At 17:25 where I say "Queen's Buildings" twice, we're actually looking at Queen's Gardens.
