I believe that this building was a bit closer to Johnston or even Hennessy Road.

I found a 1970 addess for Tin Shing Jewellery at 220, Queen's Road (https://books.google.com.hk/books?id=kWNGAAAAMAAJ&dq=%22tin+shing+jewell...). Unfortunately they don't say which section of Queen's Road, but should be East if this was in Wanchai.

Hi David

On Google Earth there are two 220 Queen's  Roads - one West and one East.  As the East one is very close to Amoy Street in Wan Chai and the places where I photographed several other old buildings, I think it's pretty certain that the old jewellery business was in Wan Chai.

Best wishes Andrew
