1909 Panorama of Kowloon, Victoria Harbour, and the north shore of Hong Kong Island

This panorama is so sharp that we can see details as far away as Lai Chi Kok, even though the photographer took the photos from mid-levels on Hong Kong island. We’ll use a high-resolution scan of the panorama to explore what was happening in Kowloon and Hong Kong in 1909. 00:04 The first 1909 panorama -    • 1909 Panorama of Hong Kong Island from the...   00:30 British Military Hospital - https://gwulo.com/bowen-road-british-... 01:00 The Firs - https://gwulo.com/node/8077 01:22 Albany Filter Beds - https://gwulo.com/node/4972 01:42 How the filter bed works - https://gwulo.com/comment/19575#comme... 03:30 1-4 Bowen Road (Royal Artillery Officers Mess) - https://gwulo.com/node/5524 03:40 Kingsclere - https://gwulo.com/node/4982 04:00 Union Church - https://gwulo.com/node/4823 04:20 Racket Court - https://gwulo.com/node/33361 04:47 The Albany - https://gwulo.com/the-albany 04:54 Government House (Governor's Residence) - https://gwulo.com/node/12634 04:59 St John's Cathedral - https://gwulo.com/saint-johns-cathedral 05:10 Roman Catholic Cathedral - https://gwulo.com/roman-catholic-cath... 05:15 Victoria Prison - https://gwulo.com/node/14271 05:23 Marble Hall - https://gwulo.com/marble-hall 05:42 Western Market - https://gwulo.com/node/4212 05:54 Stonecutters Island - https://gwulo.com/stonecutters-island 06:05 Hong Kong Historic Maps website - https://www.hkmaps.hk/ 06:48 Barbara Anslow's memories of 1920s Hong Kong - https://gwulo.com/node/31352 07:23 Standard Oil Co. - https://gwulo.com/node/20532 07:29 Mei Foo - https://gwulo.com/node/20533 07:55 Labourers accommodation / Quarantine station / Prison / Hospital / Jao Tsung-I Academy - https://gwulo.com/node/20011 09:20 Cosmopolitan Dock - https://gwulo.com/cosmopolitan-docks 09:45 Service Reservoir at Bishop Hill - https://gwulo.com/node/52552 10:45 Kowloon Wharves - https://gwulo.com/node/5306 12:15 KCR Terminus - https://gwulo.com/kowloon-canton-rail... 12:52 Holt's Wharf - https://gwulo.com/holts-wharf-hong-kong 12:56 Signal Hill - https://gwulo.com/node/2325 13:25 Kowloon Docks - https://gwulo.com/node/6667 13:55 Hong Kong Volunteers - https://gwulo.com/node/56076 14:47 Oil tanks (Dutch Oil Company) - https://gwulo.com/node/30203 15:00 1934 view of the typhoon shelter -    • 1909 & 1934 photos of Hong Kong arrived th...   16:08 Wanchai Police Station - https://gwulo.com/node/3862 17:40 New General Post Office - https://gwulo.com/node/3034 17:47 Old General Post Office - https://gwulo.com/node/6156 17:55 Jardine House - https://gwulo.com/node/7007 18:15 Pedder Street clocktower - https://gwulo.com/node/3843 18:21 Hongkong Hotel - https://gwulo.com/node/7087 20:53 Public Works Department annual reports - https://gwulo.com/public-works-annual... 22:45 Volume 1 of my books - https://gwulo.com/node/60211 For more panorama photos of old Hong Kong, see: https://gwulo.com/taxonomy/term/315/p...
