These are my cousins, Diana and Geoffrey Warren on Stanley Beach. Diana is wearing a swimsuit knitted by her mother. I guess that Geoffrey may be about ten years old and Diana eight. That would make the year about 1935. I have previously posted a photo possibly taken on the same occasion titled "Knitted swimsuits", in which both children are wearing them. I don't know if there are any significant buildings in the background.

Looking at the slope of the hill in the main photo, today's beach view here 

I have added the names of your cousins to the photos that have been posted so far.

Thanks moddsey. My cousin Geoffrey revisited Hong Kong in 1997 for the first time since leaving in 1938. He took a nostalgic photo of the right hand side of Stanley Beach, where he spent so much time as a child and that I have previously posted. It’s not too different to today’s view.
It initially took me a while to get to grips with uploading photos to Gwulo and I omitted to insert Tags in many of my earlier posts. I’m trying to tidy up some of these now and correct errors that subsequent information has brought to light.
