Probably somewhere in Wanchai. Note the pen shelters and C. E. Warren & Co. Ltd building. The Company went into liquidation in 1941.

I reckon, the Hennessy Road Playground with basketball court and garden is the location of the pen shelter and the petrol pump fronting Hennessy Road.. From Google maps, the view from Wanchai Road is this .When seen from Hennessy Road, the view in the opposite direction can be seen here I think the location of the building in red used to house the workshops of C. E. Warren & Co. It also ties in with the Harrison Forman photo sequence where alot of photos were taken of the Eastern junction of Hennessy and Johnston Roads.
