The title is taken from the photo om Flickr. I'm not sure how long a market stood there - today it's the site of a small, grassy park.

It's not clear where the seafront to our right stood either in this photo. When the tramline was built, it ran along the seafront. Later another block was reclaimed to the North (a very modest reclamation by HK standards!) to make the 'Kennedy Town New Praya' the new and still current sea-front.

Kennedy Town New Praya exists on a 1958 map, but was it there in the 1930s?

The seafront is the Kennedy Town Praya, where the tram line runs. I think the road junction slightly to left f centre is the junction with Holland Street. At the left edge of the photo it looks as if the road bends slightly to the left, which happens just past the junction with Sai Cheung Street.
