In 1897, the Hong Kong government authorized the Kowloon Godown Company to construct a tramway in Kowloon. It was constructed for transporting cargo, not passengers. The success of passenger-carrying trams on Hong Kong Island which had been in operation since 1904, had encouraged the Hong Kong Tramway Ltd to ask the Government for permission to establish tramlines for passenger-carrying trams in Kowloon. However, the government rejected the proposal. Based on historical documents, records, newspapers, and old photographs, this book hopes to take readers back to the old days along the route of the planned Kowloon tramways.
