Bonham Strand Public Latrines

1977

As I delve deeper into film locations, I note that the 1977 film, Foxbat, features several scenes shot in and around what used to be the public flush latrines in Bonham Strand.

There is a mention of a tender for construction in a public works report dated 1941 (http://sunzi.lib.hku.hk/hkgro/view/G1941/309748.pdf) but I can't find any other information.

The building appears to have been in the style of Hong Kong art deco that is evident in many pre and post war structures.

Screen capture from the 1960 Hong Kong series starring Rod Taylor. This shows the view looking west up King's Road from the approximate area of today's Kornhill development.

I know the building on the hillside was part of the Tai Koo refinery, but does anyone recall what it's function was?

You can see afew more images from the sequence here.

I'm currently watching the 1960 Hong Kong series starring Rod Taylor and noticed his character's home is at 17 Magazine Gap Road.
