Kowloon Tong Garden Estate. 

Shanghai Street - now famous for its array of home-improvement/DIY shops as well as these Shophouses.

I am pretty sure this temple still exists and is sandwiched between two high-rise buildings.

Booth mentions this waterfall as part of his walk around the peak - "I would always set off clockwise, walking beneath overhanging trees alive with butterflies and the birds that ate them., passing a waterfall..."

I just found out today that it has a name, Lugard Waterfall.

There is an entry in Wiki describing this building, which gives these dates: It was built between 1903 and 1906, and officially opened on July 1, 1907.

Donald C Bowie's 'Captive Surgeon' gives a detailed account of his time at the hospital between 1942 and 1945. During that time he was the Senior Medical Officer, and the hospital cared for Allied POWs.

I've added a completion date of 1669 for David's housekeeping, however, this is only the date of when Yuen Long market was moved to where the current MTR now sits.

1669 is post coastal clearance. I have no idea how long Yuen Liong was established prior to that particular Imperial edict.

646 Nathan Road (former site of Lee Chun Kee and Company) is now occupied by the Tao Tak Building (which also takes up 642 -> 646).

Here is Booth's description again: "surrounded by a six-foot chain-link fence on the other side of which was a steep drop to the dusty football field of another school".

The school has been at this current site since 1950.
