Queen's Road Central at the junction with D'Aguilar Street. On the right is China Building, Queen's Theatre is hidden behind it.

It looks as if On Lok Yuen Cafeteria has been replaced by a bar(?) where beer is served (instead of ice cream). Likely end of the 1940s, possibly early 1950s. Compare this photo from 1952:

In the 1952 photo, the general term "beer" has been replaced by "San Miguel Beer".
