1900s Elgin Road

Submitted by Klaus on Mon, 2020-02-24 20:37

On Flickr attributed to the 1920s, but Elgin Road became Haiphong Road already in 1909. Possibly taken from Robinson/Nathan Road. 

There is a gas lamp in front of the houses. Public Works Report for 1892 states the erection of gas lamps on this road.

Cheong Hing Store right hand in the back.

Just wondering what the man (a tourist with a camera?) is doing with the kids? Or vice versa. Begging for sweets?
