Thanks Stephen, another interesting shot. Was this the site where a temporary school had been knocked down, or a new one was about to be built?

It was site clearance for new school. We could not believe it was possible to build on the site. How wrong we were Stephen

I'm pretty sure that's the site of the Lui Ming Choi school, which opened in 1960. Please could you take a look at the map and see if the location matches what you remember? http://gwulo.com/node/29586

Looking at then and now I'am afraid memory fails. I will have to bow to your knowledge. Looking at the angle of the hill. It looks about right for the school shown on Google Earth. I was just relying on note at rear of photo.   Stephen

Thanks for checking. I can't think of any other school in that area, so I'll mark it as Lui Ming Choi.
