Fenwick Street, Wanchai, 1967

Text on Flickr: 

East Town Theatre (14 Fenwick St) is visible. The Movie "Is Paris Burning?" is on the marquee. This film debuted in late 1966-this is probably very early 1967 in this photo. Also visible are a bunch of Wanchai bars-the Pussycat, Playboy, USA Playboy, Candlelight Club. I guess the photographer was standing at the corner of Gloucester and Fenwick for this shot, looking south.

This text comes from Ian Fleming's book 'Hidden Cities' from when he visited Hong Kong around 1959-60. I guess the location is the bar in Central as the text refers to a "Downstairs" bar solely for men

San Francisco Bar, WanChai, 1972

Date picture taken (to nearest decade for older photos): 
1972

Here's the last of the '70s Wanchai bar photos I have-the "San Francisco" (Topless!) I have one Polaroid photo of me with one of the girls in this place that I just wince at when I look at it (someone would walk around and take your photo with whatever girl you were with-for a price,of course). I look about 12, long hair and all. I will not be posting that pic here.

Residents of a certain age may remember this establishment. Sadly long gone
