Nice photo
Great shot looking towards the crossing runways at Kai Tak and Customs Pass. Kadoorie Hill, Kowloon Hospital, St. Teresa's Church, La Salle College and Central British School (KGV) can also be seen.
my house - and it is still there today on Waterloo Road
On the bottom right of the photo, there are 5 identical buildings and counting from the right of the photo, my house is the one that is the 5th one from the right and then there is a lane which leads up to Kowloon Hospital by steps.- you can see these steps at the back of my house (my family lived on the first floor) the road going across the photo and the houses are facing us = Waterloo Road
102 Waterloo Road and it is still there today - the last one of the 5 identical buildings.
102 Waterloo Road
Thanks Fernanda. I've made a page for the building at https://gwulo.com/node/45118 to collect any other photos & memories of it.
