The Flickr comments suggest the older photo is from 1938, but I think the decoration is more likely to be from George V's silver jubilee in 1935. Can anyone else confirm?

This photo is one from Flickr user 'eternal1966b'. They continue to post a wonderful stream of photos of old Hong Kong. <Read more ...>
