Grandstand at the Happy Valley Racecourse, c. 1890s

This splendid grandstand at the Happy Valley Racecourse was built in storey brick and steel to replace its wooden
predecessor which was too vulnerable to the wet weather in summer in Happy Valley. Officially opened by the then Governor William Robinson in 1893, the grandstand was hailed by the Governor as “one of the finest of its kind he (the Governor) had ever seen” (The Hong Kong Telegraph, 23 February 1893)
