Thanks Raymond. Would you be able to put reasonably accurate pins on Lockhart Road and Luard Road for the market and the chow stalls? I can then add a map link to the photographs. Andrew
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!

Lockhart Road Market
Greetings, and hello Andrew. David's 1957 map - https://gwulo.com/node/35960#17/22.27899/114.17452/Map_by_OSM-1957_HK/1… - shows a picture of fish and vegetables on Lockhart Road between Fleming and Stewart. It might help for some of your photos in that neighbourhood. Regards, Peter

Re: 1960s Photo
Noted. The date of the 1960s photo is only an approximate. By chance, it could be older than the B/W photograph.
