This picture was taken 1907. There is a draper´s shop to the right and two hatters to the left. Looking up you see a sign that reads: "English School". Has anybody any idea for a localisation?

Probably Wellington St
Similar scene. Note the buildings on the left.
Wellington St.
Thanks moddsey, I agree. You posted another postcard of 1880s Wellington St. (node/5480) looking West. Are we looking to the West or the East on the 1907 picture? And: Can anyone read the Chinese letters on the sign for the English School?
Re: Signage
For the English school - the sign reads day and night 'English School'.
As for the street, my guess is that one is looking at Wellington St facing West.
Actually the sign reads
Actually the sign reads "日夜英文義學"
which literally means "Day and Night English Free School"
The same was written vertically on the middle sign hanging at the lower level.
