The new building is listed under "Works Completed" in the PWD's Annual Report for 1928:

The history page on the school's website says the school moved to new premises on Oxford Road in 1963:

Youmati School, Kowloon (Yau Ma Tei)

Can anyone tell me anything about this school. I think it is where my grandfather taught from 1922 until invasion of HK by the Japanese. I don't know why he took up work there as he doesn't appear to have any teaching experience/qualifications unless these were gained via WW1 where he did become an officer. I don't know of any connections he had with HK or the school. Nor do I know how rececruitment may have taken place. On one return trip to HK from UK in 1937 he and his family are listed as Crown Agents.

It's the building north of Lyeemoon Villas (see 1920 map). It was demolished together with the villas in 1929/30 to make way for Lyemun Flats.

Chung Sing Benevolent Society School / Bayanihan Kennedy Town Centre [1956- ]

This building was originally a school - the old name is still visible on the side of the building, so if you're passing by please could you let us know what it was? [Update: It was the "Chung Sing Benevolent Society School", see Tony's comment below.]

Today it houses the Bayanihan Kennedy Town Centre, a charitable organisation providing services to domestic helpers from overseas who are working in Hong Kong.

Whitfield junior school, Kowloon [????-????]

I've created this Place based on recent photos added by the Webb family.

It was a junior school for children whose parents were in Hong Kong with the British armed forces. From its name I assume it was in Whitfield Barracks, but if you can tell us more about its location and when it was in operation, please let us know in the comments below.
