The missionary doctor, the Rev. W. J. Webb Anderson M.B., Ch.B was one of the mainstays of the Wesleyan Missionary Church hospital in Fatshan, Canton, where he worked for over twenty years, according to Carl Smith. According to my father’s memory, the Rev Webb Anderson was one of the closest friends of his own father, Charles Edward Warren, who often visited him on the mainland. Webb Anderson's Hong Kong furlough bungalow had originally been in Leighton Hill, but became 19 Broadwood Road when Broadwood Road was created.

L C F Bellamy was the General Manager of Hong Kong Tramways in 1941. Here's his entry in the 1941 Jurors list:

I have found a Mr G.’H’. Hall Brutton listed at 4 Broadwood Road (IL 2060) in 1916-17. This must in fact be Mr G.K. Hall Brutton, a solicitor and member of the Hong Kong Legal Community 1908, pictured in photo no. 10 at http://gwulo.com/atom/17503

The Hall Bruttons must have preceded Vernon and Doris Walker as owners of 4 Broadwood Road.
