Another faded Agfa tranny from the 1960's.  Cheaper than Kodachromes and  processed locally by Jebsens - so no need to send them away. False economy, it proved.

Any thoughts on what looks like a collection of Nissan huts on the lower left of the photo ?

Isn't that Waterloo Road and Osborn Barracks?

Off the top of my head, I would hazard a guess that this was the site of Blackdown Barracks. In the 80s I played league cricket there.

Looked at a 'brighter' postcard, the Nissen huts in the photo were in the MOD property designated for St. George's School, Kowloon Tong with the KCR train tracks on the right.

Yes Moddsey has it right.
