Weiße Fracht für Hongkong - Dietmar Schönherr (1963) - Cherry Street, Tai Kok Tsui

Another one of the old finds that I forgot to post back in the day. This one is from a sequence that sees the two male protagonists in the film, played by Brad Harris and Dietmar Schönherr, taking a rickshaw ride around whilst they sightsee. They stop on Cherry Street at the northern end of the old Yaumatei Typhoon Shelter.

The low-rise windowed building on the left was a row of factories/godowns, whose northern end (off screen to the left) marked the end of Argyle Street. It wasn't until this building was demolished that Argyle Street and Cherry Street were able to link up like they do today.
