110-114, Castle Peak Road, Yuen Long [????- ]

The fronts of these three buildings have been covered over, so they are not so obvious. But if you look at the Nike shop on the right, you can still see some of the original shop front on the first and second floors.

I think that two, and possibly three of the buildings were the same style originally. If you look at the top-right corner of the Nike shop building, you can see a small square column with a round ball on top. You can just see another ball and pillar to the right of the word 'Levis' on the advertisment above the Levi's Store building.

163-169 Castle Peak Road, Yuen Long [????- ]

These are a slightly different style from the shophouses in Kowloon and Hong Kong island. If you look at the end-on photo of these shophouses, you'll see the covered area only extends out over half of the pavement. In Kowloon and Hong Kong it usually covers the whole pavement.
