Hi there,

The Chinese characters indicated it is in Hung Hom.  The temple is the Kwan Yin Temple in Station Lane.  The temple is still there, but the other buildings are all gone.

Best Regards,

T

thanks T. that makes sense - it's just down the road from Kowloon dry docks where most of those photos are taken

Hi there,

I remember there are quite a few of those HHIL or KIL lot stones at the back alley of the temple.  There seemed to be some in front of the temple too.

Best Regards,

T
