A map of the area from 1957:
A map of the area from 1957:
Wanchai Road was renumbered numerous times in the early 20th century so 153 moved around a lot. Do you know what year Homewood was dated 153. For instance on the 20th February 1903 151 became 153 (IL1419) and the existing 153 became 155 (IL1368). In 1925 No 151 &153 became 191 & 193. (These were just to the east of Wood Road)
Homeville and Wild Dell
The address date is from a 1925 directory
My original point of reference was a 1925 marriage announcement for someone living at Homeville, Wanchai to someone living at Wild Dell, Wood Road.

153 became 193 on November
153 became 193 on November 20th 1925. Here is a map of the area from the 1920s. i have added the numbers in red:
The second photo I believe is a picture of the building, taken approximately where the red x is on the above map:
The building in the Wild Dell location was renumbered from 147 to 181 on the same date and is situated on the triangular piece of land to the left of No 151
Re: Lodging House Photo
Trying to get my bearings. Can I assume the road that veers off to the right is Wood Road and that the pedestrians are crossing the junction of Wood Road and Wanchai Road? Thanks.
The picture is taken a little
The picture is taken a little further up Wanchai Road looking West. herei s the modern day view:
