Okay okay - we are coming to the end of Roland Brooks' "round robin". Thank you for bearing with me! 

Having gone, it would appear, anti clockwise from Kowloon Hospital :

This is towards the end of the "round robin" tour conducted by Roland Brooks in the week 14 February 1948. Having gone, it would appear, anti clockwise from Kowloon Hospital :

- he watched an Atlas plane at Kai Tak load up and take off

- passed high above some Coastal villages

- saw a train crossing to Kowloon - Frame 47-40-01

Re: The photos and current discussion on the NT Pagoda (Tsui Sing Lau ??)

- this 'still' frame is from the same 8mm film and was taken just prior to the footage of the pagoda, if not the same day then probably the same week in 1948.

I am presuming it is a crossing somewhere on the border  - does anyone know?

(I've uploaded another two photos of the same building and fencing.)
