The Happy Valley Racecourse and the Victoria Harbour, c. 1910s
A century ago, Happy Valley flanked by Morrison Hill (left in this photo) and the Leighton Hill (right in this photo) was a remote rural area. The landscape has been changed by urbanisation on the Island. The Morrison Hill was gradually removed starting in the 1920s and the Leighton Hill is occupied by high-rise residential, giving the Happy Valley Racecourse a unique landscape of racecourse in the city.
