Comments
The buildings for St. Paul's
The buildings for St. Paul's school along Leighton Road have been demolished in this photo, probably as a result of bombing during WW2.

Both photos also give a clear view of the nullah on Tung Lo Wan Road that Stott used in his escape from St. Paul's in 1942: http://gwulo.com/node/10109

1. Race course fire memorial;
2. Christ the King Chapel (the big building with the dome);
3. St. Paul's Convent;
4. Tung Wah Eastern Hospital;
5. South China Sports Association Stadium;
