　由堅拿道向西望，左方是英男茶樓，右方是以魚翅馳名的大三元酒家。第三輛電車背後的同德押店現仍存在。

　堅拿道原為一條開闢於1850年代的運河。位於英男茶樓前面的一段軒尼詩道原是一條橫跨運河的「鵝頸橋」。時至今日，堅拿道已是連接紅磡海底隧道的主要幹道，而「鵝頸橋」則變成「打小人」的勝地。

　Looking west from Canal Road, on the left was the Ying Nam Tea House, and on the right was the Tai Sam Yuen Restaurant which was famous for shark's fin dishes. The Tung Tak Pawn Shop located behind the 3rd tram still operates nowadays.

　Canal Road was originally a canal constructed in 1850s. A little part of Hennessy Road in front of the Ying Nam Tea House, was the Bowrington Bridge which stretched across the canal. Nowadays, the vicinity of Bowrington Bridge has become a scenic spot of "Da Siu Yan", meaning to beat and scold a small paper puppet which represents one's foul opponent.　　■鄭寶鴻 香港歷史博物館榮譽顧問
