On Lok Tsuen

I wonder if anyone has any old pictures of the various mansions/villas that once made up On Lok Tsuen in Fanling. These days the area is an industrial/factory estate but I keep seeing old films that were shot in some of the rather elegant homes that were built here. The only ones I have seen so far are the Fanling Babies Home (site now occupied by World Trade Square at 21 On Lok Mun Street) and Li Garden (李園) that occupied the site where the Kader Industrial Centre stands, but I understand the road was lined with similar style buildings. I'm not sure if Shek Lo was considered as part of the village, but it seems to be the only relic still around (until it gets knocked down...if not already demolished).

I am living at Shung Him Tong Village, Shek is still standing inside the forest, her condition is unknown, there is a big gate locked. As I heard, the new landlord would like to build new houses, but Shek Lo was graded as " Grade 1 Historic Building " in 2011, so the process stopped and there is no protection process for the building.
