Final bell ring for the Star Ferry's old Central Pier

Taken on the midnight of 12-11-2006, from the 2nd story of the opposite carpark.

This is the last time the old ferry pier's clock tower to ring before it is to be demolished along with the rest of the old pier.

But there is a new clock tower directly opposite the old clock tower at Piers 7 and 8. You can tell that the new clock tower has similar sounding bells to the old one.

Even so, the jingle still not as good as the old, made-in-UK one...

Maybe I'm just being old and nostalgic, eh?

[eclipsegsx765]

why they taken it down for?

[MwRYum]

In Hong Kong, that's what called "progress"...under such principle, nothing old is deemed worthy to keep around.

I bet it wouldn't have come down if the Brits were still running the place.....

[MwRYum]

Yeah, I can perfectly understand why some people missed the Brits...
