Inter-Pol - Tang Ching (1967) - Cornwall Street, Kowloon Tong

It took me a while to recognise this street because it has changed so much...but then again the main property seen here is still around. It's the former "Senior Officer's Residence" at 1A Cornwall Street. It was part of the former British Garrison and still has its War Department "Defence Lot" granite marker stones along the outer wall. It's now supposedly occupied by someone from the PLA but after an external renovation circa 2013 (not long after I moved nearby) it has since become rather scruffy and dirty in the way that buildings do in Hong Kong's harsh climate. Does anyone know who is here? You can just see one of the original Kowloon Tong villas to its right - however, I think this house was replaced soon after this film was shot by the property currently occupying the site.

The red garage door belongs to 22 Kent Road - later famous for being turned into the "Take One" night club where Anita Mui was assaulted by a gangster who was later shot and killed on his hospital bed. This was in the early 90s. Since then it has served as a private temple and for as long as I can remember has been sitting empty awaiting new use. As I write these words some scaffolding has been assembled on the site so it looks like someone may have successfully bought or leased it. Time will tell.

Finally, the building in the distance at the far end of the road is the original Baptist Hospital building. The block still exists but was been subsumed into a much bigger development. Actually, as I speak the hospital is redeveloping that area so the original block will be no more in a few months I think.
