Percival Street & Tramway leading to Happy Valley


Percival Street (Chinese: 波斯富街) is a street in the East Point and Happy Valley, Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong. The street spans from Gloucester Road in the north to Leighton Road in the south. Between Hennessy Road and Leighton Road, the street is with a branch of Hong Kong Tramway leading to Happy Valley. Michael walk through Percival Street to his office located in Happy Valley everyday.

The road was named after Alexander Percival, a 19th century taipan of Jardines. The land of the present-day Times Square was a tram depot at Matheson Street. Trams returned to the depot via Perceval Street and Russell Street. The historical building at the left hand side of this photo is Lee Theatre Plaza.
