Vue d'un groupe de personnes prenant la pose. Deux hommes sont transportés dans un pousse-pousse, tandis qu'un autre se promène au moyen d'une chaise à porteurs. Il s'agit d'un cliché d'un studio hongkongais si l'on se fie à l'annotation de Dumoulin au verso.

View of a group of people posing. Two men are transported in a rickshaw, while another walks by means of a sedan chair. This is a photo from a Hong Kong studio if we trust Dumoulin's annotation on the back.

Were there any other streets made of stone slabs?
Yes, there were other stone streets
Yes, the top of Peel Street.
There is a postcard of Peel Street,showing the stone slabs, captioned as "typical Hill Street", which implies there were others

thanks for confirmation Marlowe. This one will be hard to locate then unless someone can recognise the building or wall behind.
This photo was taken on…
This photo was taken on Pottinger Street just up from Wellington. The building in the background was part of the 1st Catholic Cathedral complex - maybe administration offices. The Catholic Church had the entire lot facing Wellington, Pottinger and Hollywood/Wyndham. - originally I.L. 50. There was a commercial photography studio, Pun Lun, on the opposite side of Pottinger for a time and its possible they are responsible for taking the photo.
Here is a photo looking up…

once again an impressive bit of identification from Herostratus. Excellent find. Yes, it seems that a couple of the images from the University website were taken by Pun Lun (including this one) and have also been previously uploaded by user Bennett.
