Location is approximate, but should be in the neighbourhood of Shan Tung Street.  Ceased to operate in late April 1972.

Location is approximate.  Pier ceased to operate at around June 1992.

This marker is only a guess for the "Home for the Blind" in Kowloon. The house was founded by the "Hildesheimer Blindenmission", Germany;  "Hildesheim Mission for the Blind". It is an early forerunner of what is todays "Ebenezer School & Home for the Visually Impaired" in Pokfulam. The lot of land was donated by Queen Voctoria in 1901.

Can anyone help with the localisation? My marker is only a guess.

I read in a missionary report that the "Home for the Blind" in Kowloon was located 7 minutes by foot on a hill above the village To Kwa Wan.

Hi there,

I spotted this earlier today.  The engraving is very faint and being painted over.  I was unable to read it very clearly.  I have to go back there in broad day light again later.

Hi there,

I spotted this last night.  Unfortunately the stone had already been weathered down.  I was unable to read the engraving.  It could be a K.I.L. or a H.H.I.L.  I will return for a second visit in daylight later.

The same alley is the one with pillars on both ends that  have mentioned before.  If you check up the street map of the location, you should be able to see the same alley continues on the other side of Ma Tau Wai Road straight to Gilles Avenue South and beyond.
