House and bridge in NT near coast.JPG

This is towards the end of the "round robin" tour conducted by Roland Brooks in the week 14 February 1948. Having gone, it would appear, anti clockwise from Kowloon Hospital :

- he watched an Atlas plane at Kai Tak load up and take off

- passed high above some Coastal villages

- saw a train crossing to Kowloon - Frame 47-40-01

- and an old stone footbridge

- passed through a town with several covered trucks (army type?)

- passed some Chinese women with baskets crossing a bridge

- went to a border crossing (perhaps) with barricade and Union Jack

- and some 'official' building alongside with high barricade fencing and also Union Jack

- then to a town where people were operating a pump into a channel

- then he passed a tall pagoda !

- on the far right of the pagoda there was a large stone arch with what appears to be a haystack or thatched roof in foreground.

- from there Roland appears to have driven  to the coast, towards this house and what appears to be a (swing?) bridge on the left and as can be seen in the last frame 50-15-11 he takes shots of a junk (and sampans). Where was this?
