Everything tagged: terminus

Terminal loop located at the junction of Connaught Road, Des Voeux Road and Hill Road. Probably not yet built when the tram started its operation in 1904. In the late 1920's, Petrol stations in Shek Tong Tsui [c.1929-c.1989] were built inside the loop.

Because the area was reconstructed - construction of the elevated Shing Sai Road - the loop was demolished in early 1989.

It was relocated further to the north-west in 1996, partly built on reclaimed land.

A temporary railway track had been laid in a reserved section of Salisbury Road pending completion of a more permanent facility, and part of a godown belonging to the Hong Kong & Kowloon Wharf & Godown Company had been rented and turned into a temporary station building.
