The Oura foreign settlement and Nagasaki Harbour seen from Don-no-Yama

The Oura foreign settlement and Nagasaki Harbour seen from Don-no-Yama

This photo captures the area around the Oura River as viewed from mid-hill Mt. Donnoyama. At the mouth of the river stands Sagarimatsu Bridge, built in 1869 for the horse trail in the settlement. A bit upstream stands Benten Bridge built during the Bunkyu period (1861-1864) when the land was reclaimed for the Oura settlement. The U-shaped building visible next to Myogyoji Temple on the left hill is the Belle Vue Hotel. On the other side of the port is the Nagasaki Shipyard controlled by the Ministry of Engineering. Since the dormitory for foreign employees built in April 1874, doesn’t show in this photo, it must have been taken before then.==Date:1872, Place:Nagasaki, Photo:Ueno Hikoma, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images)

Oura Catholic Church seen from the Oura foreign settlement

Oura Catholic Church seen from the Oura foreign settlement

This photo captures the Oura foreign settlement from the mid hill of Higashiyamate along with Oura Church and the Glover residence in Minamiyamate. Since only the front of the church has scaffolding, construction was almost complete. The building on the right is the bishop house. Myogyoji Temple is below that. The area with the warehouses is Oura-Ko No. 33 (present-day NTT Hospital). Around 1864.==Date:unknown, Place:Nagasaki, Photo:F. Beato, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images)
