This volume pays tribute to the Hong Kong trams from their earliest days, when they were served by British-built single-decks trams, through to the modern era. It features almost 100 images, most of which have never been published before, to reflect the changing face of the tramway and of the street scenes through which it operates. It is thus a vivid reminder of how much Hong Kong island – and its tramway – has changed over the last 100 years.

Over the years photographers have recorded the changing face of Hong Kong – its street scenes, buildings and people. This new book – drawing upon images from a wide range of sources, most of which are previously unpublished, provides a pictorial tribute to this lost Hong Kong.
