This photo was taken at Caine Lane, with Caine Road above. The building in the photo was the former Police Quarters and Semour Road was behind this buiding. The building site became a park in the 70's. Sir Robert Ho Tung' residence "Idelwild" at 6-8 Seymour Road was behind the Police Quarter. The Bateriologial Institue was not in the photo. That was behind the photographer.
D The Synagouge, B probably 56 Conduit Road, G probably No 6 Seymour, the annex to Idelwild, C probably 97 Robinson road and A Rocky Mount in Conduit Road. residence of George Tyson ( Chan Kai Ming ), H part of Idlewild.
Hi AET, I think the photographer was a bit further west, almost on Upper Station Street. I drew a line through the synagogue, the police quarters site and the corner of Hospital Road to see that.
Does that change any of your estimates for the other buildings?
