A Photo from my mother's album taken, I think, circa 1940.  Can anyone help with identifying date, venue or any other information pertaining to the photo?   Many thanks in advance.  Mike

In both photos submitted, at bottom right - is there a name of the photo studio?

Yes!  Good point moddsey.  I had scanned them without carefully checking the photos themselves. There is an imprint on the bottom right in English and Chinese "King's Studio    Hong Kong ".   The back is also faintly dated in pencil November 1940.  Thank you for pointing that out.  Mike

Please check out the other photo I posted which, I think, was taken at the same location and about the same time.  I subsequently heard from a distant family friend that my Mum went to St Mary's on Kimberley Rd so the photo might have been taken at St Mary's which would be a surprise to me as we went to St Andrews (Anglican) when we lived in HK.  Thanks for everyone's comments.
