Superintendent Lucy Clay greets visitors to the Fanling Babies' Home in the loggia.
Moddsey's suggestion of Sir David Trench being the subject of this picture would put the date between April 1964, when he was appointed Governor, and 1966, when the Fanling Home moved to Taipo and became the Pine Hill Babies' Home.
Thanks to hkspace we now know that the other man in this picture is Mr D. W. B. Haron, Director of Social Welfare, and that the visit occurred on 11th January 1965.
