Church Guest House of course is (or was) in Upper Albert Road.

Hi there,

Part of the building still exist.  But I think the houses are between the Lower and Upper Albert Roads.  The street view is on the Upper.

The main entrance to Martin House (previously Church Guest House, and St Paul's College Hostel before that) is on Upper Albert Road and there is access from the back of Central Hospital too, from the days when the basement was used as a nurses' residence, but Lower Albert Rd is quite far away from the rear of the building. Access to it from Martin House must be made either via Albert Path or Glenealy (unless you're a Central Hospital nurse, although they seem not to use Martin House any more).

Naughty!!  The original heading has been changed from "Lower Albert Road" to "Upper Albert Road" without any record of this being done.  No prizes for guessing who is responsible. Sneaky.

On the first page of her novel of 1952, "A Many Splendoured Thing", the narrator, Han Suyin moves in to a room in Church Guest House, overcrowded with bitter missionaries recently ejected from China after the communist revolution.  It's a fine description of place and time.
