Kennedy Road was the second east-west road in Hong Kong. PWR for 1876 mentions the construction of this road. Garden Road already appears on the 1866 map. So the junction was built likely in the late 1870s.
The junction drastically changed over the years, mainly after the construction of Cotton Tree Drive.
On 1L 1677. First mention I can find on the web is 1906. Likely replaced by Nam Koo terrace c1920.
Semi detached residence above Kennedy Road. Constructed in the 1920s. Replaced by Sakura court in the 1970s. Originally numbered 22 Kennedy Road until November 1927.
Lot created 4th June 1920. See here for more discussion of this place
I have an old Hong Kong map (before 1940) which shows the east end of Kennedy Road joining Queens Road East just next to Wanchai gap Road.
As we know it is now it now joins QRE about a hundred yards further east just below Wah yan College.
When did this move did place and why?
Thanks,
