Junction of Kennedy Road and Garden Road [c.1878- ]

Submitted by Klaus on Thu, 07/29/2021 - 20:54

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.

When did the east end of Kennedy Road move further along QRE

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,
