Wyndham Street

The Image is flipped but maybe D'Aguilar St or Wyndham St again. I can't remember which one had the rickshaw stop.

Hi Phil,

Could be Wyndham Street as well.  Both sides of  modern day D;Aguilar Street are gentle slopes where there are steps on Wyndham Street.  Uncertain if it was the same back then though.

There is a 'Blue Heavan" neon Sign.  Does that ring any bells?

Yes, Wyndham Street. Looks like the view from the other side of your other photo (green telephone boxes and Blue Heaven street sign):

Perhaps a glitch. Yet to be flipped. Will slowly add the locations to your photos. 

The building down Wyndham Street is the China Building. Moon cakes and moon festival time of year. Probably taken in September/October time.

That 1957 Wyndham Street photo with a richsha rank has great value for Hong Kong transport historians. This is the first colour photograph I have ever seen of a Hong Kong ricksha  with 16-spoke wooden wheels.There are plenty of mono photographs around but not colour film 

By the 1960's these had been displaced by richsha wheels having (I recall) 40 bicycle-type metal wire spokes connecting to a steel rim. Overall, these provided a better sprung and more comfortable ride.  When I arrived in 1965, I cannot recall ever seeing a ricksha with wooden wheels.and as a transport historian, I tend to notice these things.

Blue Heaven Restaurant, by Moddsey

I guess the Blue Heaven in the China Buillding was the forerunner to the the same restaurant in the Manning Building on Queen's Road Central. Besides the Gloucester Restaurant in the Gloucester Building, the Blue Heaven was also a go-to place.
