The Spanish villa type house on the right was No. 1 Robinson Road of Sir Chun Nin CHAU whose sons are Scouts which enabled me to visit their homes

I think the platform in the photo is the one holding up the road and not the property.

Well, then both platforms may not exist anymore ...

I think remnants of the north facing wall supporting Robinson Road may still be there to be viewed at the junction with Albany Road. The current entrance to the Children's Park is via Albany Road.
