We've seen Cornwall Street a few times in the past few months (e.g Inter-pol, The Young Rebel) but in this film we get to see the Baptist Hospital from a closer angle. Believe it or not the multi-port hydrant is still there, at least for the time being. These "heavy draw off" hydrants were placed strategically underneath the old Kai Tak flight path so that in the event of a plane crash there would be enough water and hoses to deal with any subsequent fire. They're a bit of a dying breed these days and are slowly but surely being removed. Gwulo has an (old) list of the remaining ones here.
