Tai Wong Street East, Wanchai, surviving wall of former shop house [????- ]

This 'Wall' is just behind 'The Pawn'.

 

Corner of Amoy Street & Queen's Road East [????- ]

These three had been marked as Government Property and I thought had been demolished together with the Lee Tung Street/Chun Yuen Street buildings.  Obviously one of the shops is still being used by some charity or local group selling used items and/or organic vegetables.  There is a guard post in one of the blocks.

Copy cat shop house at 6 Stewart Road, Wanchai [????- ]

This one is just for your comparison.  This one is definitely more modern, but the style remained similar to those three story blocks, ie, Guangzhou style shop houses.  I wouldn't mind living in one of these copy cats, or even one of the original ones, provided I could afford it.  With suitable acoustics material and the tall ceiling it would be great to match it with some valves amplifiers and planar speakers.
