Where Peak Road meets Stubbs Road. Wanchai Gap Road at the back.
Stubbs Road with Black's Link on the right.
Middle Gap Road on the left, Mt Cameron Rd on the right.
The grassy area is now part of Wanchai Gap Park,
Coombe Road coming from the right.
It's hard to get a comparative view from Streetview so they will just have to wait until my next visit to the Police Museum. Suffice to say all the hillsides are now covered in mature tree growth. The next shot is great, I particularly like the rickshaw puller who managed to find his way to the top of the pile up.
The following is a better, low angled view through the gap. The building at the end is currently a HK Electric substation. I have no idea if it was the same back in 1965. There are some nice houses on the slope at the back. Whether they are still around is hard to say but I think the one above the substation might be the precursor to today's Cameron Lodge. The one further along might be #6 Middle Gap Road and it looks as though the same building is still there today with the two chimneys.
I'll finish on this brief shot of the top of Wanchai Gap Road as the wayward bed starts on its long journey towards...well, actually it ends up in Mongkok as you will see in a later post. If you thought that was daft enough, then pay attention to the next couple of posts as I document its rather convoluted journey to the other side of the harbour.

Hi Phil,
It's still there. (https://goo.gl/maps/8RsSgcYPhWt)

Hi Thomas, yes, it's the HK Electric sub power station, though it also looks like it is habitable. Cheers, Phil
