We Owe It to Our Children - Cheung Wood-yau (1955) - Castle Peak Road, Lai Chi Kok

The final location for this film is a look along Castle Peak Road in Lai Chi Kok. The clue here is the HK Mary Sing Shun Factory Building that was located at #495. I'm quite familiar with this area so to see it so empty (compared to today) is quite astonishing and is a good reminder of how much HK has filled up (with people and buidings) since the war. The factory beyond beyond was the huge "HK Spinners Factory Building" that stretched from Tung Chau Street to Tai Nan Street (now Tai Nan West Street). The Sing Shun name lives on today because the same site is now occupied by the Sing Shun Factory Building.
