CENTRAL DISTRICT, Victoria, and Hong Kong Harbour as seen from Mid-Levels. looking north-west towards the hills of the Kowloon peninsula and the New Territories. The photograph indicates something of the extent of new- and ever higher-building during recent years. Prominent to the left centre of the photograph are the Main and East Wings of the Central Govern- ment Offices, towering above the 100 years old St. John's Cathedral with.
beyond (mid centre) the three tall spires of the Chartered Bank (entirely new building nearing completion), Hongkong & Shanghai Bank and the Bank of China. Among the trees in foreground can be seen the buildings of Murray Barracks, also more than one hundred years old. By agreement between the War Office and the Hong Kong Government this valuable land will shortly be released by the Army, thus affording further sites for development.
