Wai Yan street.  Still recognisable nearly 60 years later. I took this photograph of the shops directly opposite the bus stop on another occasion to the colour one. This is exactly the same place in 2006.  I wonder whether the changes to the building were just superficial.  The group of boys playing on the pavement might well now be grandfathers!
