Hi there,

Bumped into this blog earlier.  Despite it is entirely written in Chinese, this blog has quite a load of local old photos.  Thee are nine sections in total.  The link pasted below is the last section.  Owing to the way the photos are organized, it would take quite a while for all the photos to be loaded.

Best Regards,

T

The three circular oil tanks of the Admiralty Oil Depot can be seen in the top left corner of the photo. The photo is dated as belonging to the 1930s but could well have been taken from a later period.

With reference to the 1930s Jordan Rd Reclamation, the 1931 Public Works Annual Report mentions that 'the reclamation under construction in connection with the vehicular ferry berth on the south side of Jordan Rd is upwards of two acres in extent and abuts on the western boundary the Admiralty Oil Depot.'
