What's this building?
I'm having trouble matching up the building on the corner (with the red 'Technos' advert) with other pictures of this junction.
In theory it should be the same as the building in the right foreground of this photo:
But they don't seem to match up?
Any ideas?

they do match
David, if you look closely at the nearmost column set up on the right hand side (first floor) of the B&W picture, you will see the column (a cylindrical one next to a square one) is the same set up as the corner building above.
I think the B&W angle is just so that you can only see the very far edge of the corner building.

re: they do match
Phil, well spotted, thanks. I'd missed that completely.
Thanks also to Moddsey, who posted a clearer view along Pedder Street, confirming Phil's observation:
That shows three buildings between Queen's Rd & Des Voeux Rd:

Pedder St Vehicular Traffic Flow
Just for record. The vehicular traffic flow on Pedder Street changed to one-way from south to north on 22 August 1955.
Can we add "Hongkong Hotel -
Can we add "Hongkong Hotel - Queen's Road at Pedder Street" to places and perhaps change the title of this photo?
