Shek Kip Mei shanty town.  While it was labelled Wo Chai Street, I believe its alignment/location is not the same as the current Woh Chai Street.  I remember stepping over the ditch several times.  This site is very close to Tai Po Road, and by the time of the 1963 photo, the area had been altered to make way for 6-storey resettlement buildings.
