A Cause to Kill - Ivy Ling Po (1969) - Marigold Road, Yau Yat Tsuen

The steps lead on to Marigold Road and it is here where Hsin Li has parked her car. Unbeknownst to her, Inspector Sheng is keeping a close eye on her movements. Yau Yat Tsuen was originally developed in the 1950s as a Chinese/local "version" of Kowloon Tong and as a result the original properties were all built in the same art-deco style that was popular at the time. A few of these properties remain but most have, for the large part, been redeveloped into low rise mansion blocks of three or four storeys. In the lower image you can see the original building that stood at #4 Marigold Road. It's now an unimpressive block called Marigold Court, but the original building had lovely curved balconies and lots of style.

The school (rhs) is still there
