Looks like Robinson Road where the Chinese provision store used to be prior to the junction of Seymour Road. Cannot make out the name of the college though.
A higher resolution scan of the plaque by the entrance may help.
The Chinese name looks like X徳書院, the X has the shape of 和. If it is a 4-letter word _ANG in English, the only words that fit are probably DANG 但 and HANG 恒, HANG 恒 is the more likely choice.
Wang Tak College has been identified in the magnified photo. However, a google search of Wang Tak College has yielded no positive responses regarding its location.
That said, a search of the Chinese provision store "Charn Kee" on Robinson Road came up with a photo here on the public archive "Hong Kong Memory". "Charn Kee" (or its predecessor) and the building next to it on the right side of the road in the main photo were located on 49 Robinson Road.
The photo on Hong Kong Memory shows the window arrangement and the old and "new" road signs of Robinson Road on the building next to the grocery store which can also be seen in the main photo from 1956. These buildings have since been demolished.
Opposite "Charn Kee" was another grocery store called "So Kee". Perhaps the one seen in the main photo but on the left side of the road. Before supermarkets became popular, our family used to purchase daily necessities, bread, tinned food etc from "So Kee" on a signed chit basis. Outstanding bills were paid off on a monthly basis.
Located on I. L. No. 27, the buildings on the left side of the road had a street address of 54-62 Robinson Road. I think Wang Tak College may have occupied 60-62 Robinson Road.

??ang Tak College
Looks like the partially visible letter might be an "A"? That might narrow down the possibilities a bit

Closeup of the plaque...
Unfortunately the image has novement blur so not able to get a clearer view
The blurred image is clear…
The blurred image is clear enough to see: 弘德書院 Wang Tak College

In the photo, the store on…
In the photo, the store at the corner on the G/F of the college with three five-star flags flying above it was named 何生記 Ho Sang Kee Store.
Re: Ho Sang Kee Store
I was struggling to find its name. Thanks.
