Posted by Ben Bowen:
The Lo Yuk-Tong family house, at 17-19 Kennedy Road, was first built in 1919, and demolished near 1970. It is one of the sites that was redeveloped to build current day Hopewell Centre.
Name from the 1933 map. There are four terraced houses on this site with a large garden to the east. The 1901 map shows that another block of four terraced houses were planned to be built on the gardens but these do not seems to have ever been completed.
IL 1390
Original driveway still exists - called Park Gate
Dates are approximates based on available info. any more exact dates appreciated.

A couple of weeks ago we traced the history of the Admiralty area, and saw how the land between Kennedy Road and Queensway used to be the British army’s Victoria Barracks. This time we’ll take a walk through what used to be the barracks, to see what’s there today. There are also a few questions along the way, that I hope you can help me with.
