Taken in the 1950s looking northbound along Nathan Road. Opposite the Sun Ya Hotel is the Paramount Nightclub. Looks like the Hotel is now the HSBC Mong Kok Branch.

Would love to share with you some 1946 photos which I've recently discovered in my grandaunt's belongings, and really fascinated that someone actually bothered to take pics of my paternal great grandma's funeral when she passed away in 1946. Guess it's kind of a pity that I only managed to grab hold of these things after the passing of my grandaunt, otherwise I would have made some substantial discoveries about these gems.

This is a close up view of the same stretch of road in pic 1. The really ornate structure is the coffin vehicle for the procession.  Now perhaps the shopfronts could shed an identity or two about the location?
