This is towards the end of the "round robin" tour conducted by Roland Brooks in the week 14 February 1948. Having gone, it would appear, anti clockwise from Kowloon Hospital :

- he watched an Atlas plane at Kai Tak load up and take off

- passed high above some Coastal villages

- saw a train crossing to Kowloon - Frame 47-40-01

- and an old stone footbridge

- passed through a town with several covered trucks (army type?)

- passed some Chinese women with baskets crossing a bridge

- went to a border crossing (perhaps) with barricade and Union Jack

- and some 'official' building alongside with high barricade fencing and also Union Jack

- then to a town where people were operating a pump into a channel

- then he passed a tall pagoda !

- on the far right of the pagoda there was a large stone arch with what appears to be a haystack or thatched roof in foreground.

- from there Roland appears to have driven  to the coast, towards this house and what appears to be a (swing?) bridge on the left and as can be seen in the last frame 50-15-11 he takes shots of a junk (and sampans). Where was this?
