Is this another view of the Hennessy Road Wet Market in Wan Chai? Thomas commented on a similar phortograph in Bruce Deadman's gallery. (Andrew S)

Thank you Peter and Moddsey.  I didn't realise that placing accurate pins on the new map could be done by initially inserting them in the correct location on my old 1957 map!  have now located a red pin on the fish and vegetable symbol on the latter map and see that it is correctly shown on the modern map. I now need to check many of my previous posts to see whether more accurate pinning can be achieved via use of the 1957 map - to which my ageing memory better relates!  Best wishes, Andrew

From the B/W photo, I noticed that there was a new building erected just behind the open market. Yet there was not in the colour one. So if the colour photo shows the 1960s, the B/W one couldn't be taken in 1958!
