Greetings, the queue barriers look familiar, but the only place I can think of is the peak tram lower station, the roof agrees but not the size or timing. Regards, Peter
I think it is the Star Ferry Pier on Connaught Road. There appears to be a ramp that leads off to the right for first class passengers. If one looks directly out to the main entrance, there is a conical traffic control post in the middle of the road. The structure can be seen below.
Good morning Peter and Moddsey. Thank you for your thoughts. I think that the wooden roof structure does not match my recollection of the Peak Tram building, which was a modern concrete building, so the old Star Ferry pier is my candidate. Enlarging the area beneath the Hueur sign I think I can just make out a road, Ice House Street(?), with a car parked on it, that is more or less opposite what looks like the entrance. That would fit better with the ferry pier. Any more contributions? Best wishes, Andrew
Yes, that's the old Star Ferry pier looking back towards the Connaught road with the distinctive MARITIME sign on the left as also seen on this other photograph taken in 1957/8. I think that the building which also had a COOK's sign on the left was called the King's Building.

Could this be the peak tram station waiting area?
