What: Part swimming pool, part bath, this was a popular spot on a hot summer's day.
Where: There's a pencil note on the back:
"Near Yaumati". So somewhere along the shoreline near Yau Ma Tei.
It looks as though the photographer is on a pier. Does anyone recognise it?
Who: While most are swimming, this young man drew the short straw, and is left looking after their clothes:
Another non-swimmer is under cover on his sampan:
While this man stands out from the crowd, with his white clothes and topee:
I wonder if the photographer is his parent?
When: From the style of the photo, I guess sometime between 1920 and 1930.
