1967 - Stanley Bay

This is an image of Stanley Bay (赤柱灣), with a portion of Sea and Sky Court showing up as the tallest building situated towards the lower left-hand corner of the picture. This site was formerly occupied by the art deco, two-story, original Stanley Hotel, which was demolished during the early to mid-1960’s to make way for the ten-storied Sea and Sky Court, comprising 2 street level shopfronts and 18 apartments.

The two-chimneyed, two-story, mid-19th century Stanley Police Station (1859) can be seen towards the left-hand side of the horizontal mid-line of the image.

This image of Stanley Bay (Chek Chue Waan) appears in the 1968 edition of the Official Guide Book of the Hongkong Hotels Association, as published by A-O-A, 1302 Manson House, Kowloon.
