The building on the upper slopes of the Peak, east side, (bottom right of picture) is 41 Conduit Road gardens upper level. You can see the pavilion where Han Suyin and Ian Morrison did their courting.
In the 1950s this was the site of the Foreign Correspondents Club.
Well spotted, I've added that to "Places Shown", and also the Tsan Yuk hospital visible under the "o" of the watermark. I'll come back to this photo in future to look at it in more detail, and also to compare it with a couple of earlier views we have of this area.
Dr Han Suyin was the doctor who delivered me when I was born at Queen Mary Hospital in April 1949 - the time of the opening of her novel A Many Splendoured Thing. Mark Elliott’s (ie Ian Morrison’s) small green morris car in the novel was based on my parents’ green morris minor - so my parents told me.
