I've compared this to the few, later photos I have, and I think it is the northeast corner of Lockhart and Luard Roads. If it is not, please correct me. At any rate, a rare view of a Wanchai bar from just after "The World of Suzie Wong" was written, but before the Movie was filmed.

Here is a badly damaged negative I had digitized, for the 'historical interest'. This shot was at the very end of the roll of film, and a careless developer just stapled something right over this shot. I never had this photo printed, but recently I sent a bunch of negatives to a place that scans them and sends them back on a DVD disk.

  What a shame this one is so damaged. I took it on Lockhart Road in Wanchai, in the early evening, when the lights were just coming on in the bars (you can still see the sunlight up at the roofline)
