Notes from moddsey:

The stone that formerly stood near the junction of Harlech and Hatton Roads on the Peak can be viewed here and its current location here

It reads:

Dates and location approximate for now. [Outline added, based on the map 1960.1 Hong Kong.]

The camp appears in photos of the area from the 1940s on. IDJ writes:

That whole area was covered with Nissen Huts and military playing fields up until at least the 1970s and probably until about the time the first Cross Harbour Tunnel was built.

Hi there,

Hi there,

From my observation the pier/bridge had once collasped, but villagers had laid on new planks.  I wished I had took some photos more than 30 years ago when I was there in a school picnic.

Best Regards

The War Memorial Nursing Home opened on this site on Wednesday, 16th March 1932 [1].

Despite the name, in its early years it was a civilian hospital. The name referred to the fund that commemorated the people who fought in WW1, and which contributed to the costs of building this hospital.

After WW2, the Royal Navy Hospital in Wanchai was considered in too poor condition to be re-used. So the War Memorial Hospital was taken over by the Navy, and became the new Royal Navy Hospital.
