Kai Tack aerodrome’s open nullah next to the Kai Tack Bund residential development.
Wherever there is water, children gravitate into it no matter how dirty it is. In this case effluent drainage from nearby tanning factories and farmer’s fields further back behind the aerodrome.

Bridge & crane
IDJ, thanks for the latest uploads - lots of new scenes to enjoy.
I noticed the nullah is still open in this photo, but in later photos (example below) it has a bridge across it at the entrance, and a crane on the corner where the people are sitting.
Please do you know when the bridge was added, and what the crane was used for? The bridge will be a useful clue for dating photos of the area and I'm curious to know if the crane was used to lift seaplanes, or just unloading supplies.
Steam crane
