The UWM copy has a sign visible on the right edge of the photo:

Sign

Does anyone recognise where it might have been?

It shows an ad for Eagle Brand Condenesed Milk, which can still be found in supermarkets.

Here is the literal  translation: Those who want to feed milk, they should buy one can home. Buy this, you will have a good family.

This picture was taken at Caine Road. The signage was the name of a girl school (志如女學 i.e. Chi Yu Girl School) at Ladder Street. The picture must be taken before 1950 as the school changed its name to 志如學校 thereafter. See the shade of a tree in front of the lady? I believe the tree is still there.

志如學校 *Chi Yu School was located at 5 Ladder Street. Before the war, schools were often separated into boys' and girls' schools. 志如學校 *Chi Yu School and 志如女校 *Chi Yu Girls' School were different. However, for the convenience of teaching and management, the girls' school was often located near the boys' school. I think the location is near 144 Caine Road (the stone wall is still standing), and 志如女校 *Chi Yu Girls' School should be at the top of Ladder Street.
