I think this is Johnston Road prior to the Wanchai relamation. Judging from the curvaure of the buildings, the old Pawnshop could be the building in the middle.

Hi there,

The old Southorn Stadium and the Violet Peel Clinic are also partially visible in this photo.  The stadium is the one with the black top in the middle, by the left. What's in front of it with the big windows should be the west wing of the clinic.

Best Regards,

T
