The Leighton Hill [2002- ]

Submitted by Aldi on

The Leighton Hill is a prestigious high-rise development of eight towers situated side by side in a serpentine arrangement on Leighton Hill, Happy Valley, overlooking the Racecourse and Causeway Bay.  The site was previously occupied by the Leighton Hill Government Quarters.

Between them the towers contain 544 units and they were developed by Sun Hung Kai Properties in 2002.  They are accessed by Leighton Hill Road.

Alfred Joseph WALTERS [????-c.1948]

Chief engineer of Charles Baudouin steam ships, Alfred Walters married Kathleen Lysaught, youngest daughter of William and Isabella Lysaught on 18 September 1909. I’m grateful to Patricia O’Sullivan for this information. The Lysaught family are well documented in her book Policing Hong Kong. In 1916-1917, Alfred’s name is given as that of the rate payer of nos. 1 & 2 “Belvedere”, Broadwood Road, but is deleted in the 1918-19 Rate Book, and replaced by that of the new owner Wong Yee Chung.
