Anyway, the location for this squabble is where the Hang Hau Road and Cleawater Bay Road roundabout now stands. The first image shows us looking more or less north, as the cars and bikes drive down the road towards the turnoff for Silverstrand Beach Road.
We can actually identify a few of the buildings even though they no longer exist in this form. In the top image on the left we have a building that was called "Villa Placida". This place is also called "Chocolatier" on some maps and has been sitting empty for a long time - making it popular with Urbex peeps. (see here).
In the second image the camera has panned slightly to the right showing a blue trimmed building on the right hand side. This is the original house located at 1 Silverstrand Beach Road. On older maps it's marked as P.I.M.E House, which makes me think it might be owned by the Catholic Church. However, this building was redeveloped - so perhaps it was sold a redeveloped privately? If you know, pleaase feel free to comment.
In the last image we are looking the other way, down the road with the beach turnoff on the left. There are three properties that are (almost visible). On the left we can see what looks to be the car port of a property that was called "Clearview". It has since been developed into a small development called Suzzex Lodge. Sitting on the hill in the centre is the previous version of a house that with no name or number. I only know it occupies Lots 281, 282 and 282EXT of DD224. This might be enough for the postie, but it does make you wonder who lives there. The final house on the right is the former property occupying 836 Clearwater Bay Road. This place has long gone and been replaced by a massive house and perimeter wall.
Once again my Google marker is snapping to nearby buildings, it's not intentional and is beyond my control it seems.
