A photo of the 'factories of Nanyan [sic] Brothers Tobacco Co. Ltd. at Sung Wong Toi Road, c.1915' appears on p.78 of A Century of Kowloon Roads and Streets (Joint Publishing (HK), 2000). It looks to have been located very close to the waterfront, but the precise location is not yet known. Demolition started in 1999 for a major redevelopment of both this site and the Tien Chu factory (source: South China Morning Post, 'To Kwa Wan's $6bn project begins', 1 December 1999)
