Nathan Road Kowloon Hong Kong China Tinted Photo 1940s Real Photo Postcard

Nathan Road, a prominent artery in Kowloon, Hong Kong, was originally laid out in 1903 as Robinson Road and later renamed in 1909 after Governor Sir Matthew Nathan. By the mid-20th century, as depicted in this scene, it had transformed into a thriving commercial and cultural center. The presence of vintage automobiles and classic double-decker buses, typical of the era, strongly suggests the postcard dates from the 1950s, a period of significant post-war recovery and growth for the British colony.
