The Big Game - Brendan Boone (1973) - Bailey Street, Hung Hom

Here's a street that confused me for while because I am only familar with the current version. But back in 1973, Bailey Street was only about half the length it is today. Pretty much everything beyond the Sung Chi Building didn't exist in 1973. The images below show us looking east from the junction with Ma Tau Wai Road.The large building on the right was a large block known as Matauwai Apartments. This has only recently been demolished and replaced by a new, taller,modern apartment block. Just in the distance beyond it is the bamboo covered facade of the newly built Sung Yan Building. Beyond that was the open space of Kowloon Bay - all now reclaimed and built upon. The old tenement buildings on the left side of the road have only just been demolished, but expect a similar residential high rise to take their place.
