My father, Desmond Byrne, and his friend Frank Waller sent these party invites out for a “Thrash” at 128 Waterloo Rd, Kowloon. I’m not sure who’s flat it was.
If you knew my father, Desmond J Byrne, from Hong Kong in the early 60’s please contact me. I have many photos of his days as well as my mother’s(Sita Leelanganie Nissanka Byrne) as well.
It has recently been redeveloped (within the past 5 or so years), but the previous property on this site was called "Kilowatt Court" - it sat, as the current building does, above the Kowloon Tong electricity substation. It was built in 1969, but I wonder if the previous building before that was also for CLP senior staff?
Interesting! My father worked for CLP before working for Duty Free Int'l and left HK approx 1964 for the U.S. and later Nassau, Bahamas and Honolulu, Hawaii.
