This land was reclaimed at the same time as the adjacent ML 430.

1961 Admiralty view

Submitted by Klaus on Sun, 2019-03-10 23:16

This photo from end of 1960/early 1961 shows the construction of Harcourt Road. The reclamation of a part of the Boal Pool has been finished, the same applies to Gloucester Road behind the Wanchai Police Headquarters. The new wall around the area that the Admiralty will still use has been built already.

An OCR program was used; it works quite well with regular text, but tables are difficult and need retyping. Therefore the second part with costs isn't converted.
