Nos 5,7 and 9 Village Road are the three storey block in the centre of the photo, with No.5 on the left of the photo and No.9 on the right.  The small balcony with the potted plants marks the room which the children occupied (my three sisters, myself and my younger brother). It eventually became mine when the others grew up and left home.

1947

This photo is from the Bagam family archive I am currently reviewing.  Taken in Hong Kong by Kings Studio. Is that "1947" on the board behind? Theo Bagram died 24 April 1947, I wonder if this might be a New Year party for that year.  All people unknown, if anyone recognises a face please let me know.
