Wanchai Traffic Police 1940's.jpg

Where is it exactly? Unfortunately, the street sign is ilegible. What can be read from left to right:

female toilet (女廁)
female bathroom (女浴室)
economy iced drinks restaurant (經濟xx飲冰室)

The white building with a tower just below Bowen Road should be 64 Kennedy Road. So the place could be near Southorn Playgound on Hennessy or Johnston Roads. The design of the traffic pagoda looks more 1950s than 1940s.

The street sign does say Hennessy Road but still does not answer exactly where though.

But using Klaus' helpful ID of 64 Kennedy Road as a line of sight, we should be somewhere between Fenwick Street and Luard Road. 

Using the traffic pagoda as an anchor point, probably more at the junction with Luard Road.

Actually no. The roads are angled in the photo so we should be further east than Luard Road. 

The next junction further east would be with O'Brien Road and there was a traffic pagoda there in the 1950s.
 

Yes, the junction of Hennessy Road and O' Brien Road. The roof trusses in the background show the indoor basketball court at Southorn Playground. At the junction was a public latrine and bath house. The reverse angle here from Johnston Road.

Actually the picture referred by Moddsey viewed from Johnston road does show a traffic pagoda at the Hennessy-O'brien junction.

Hi There,

The location would be the same corner of the present day entrance of the Wanchai Computer Centre.  The black roof behind the public toilet was the original covered Southorn Playground.
