Village Lin Tin

A view of a row of brick-built buildings in a traditional Chinese style, with tiled roofs that curve-up at the corners. This is believed to be the village of Lin Tin near the Canton River. The ground in front of the houses is unmade, with chickens running free. Forked sticks are in rows in the soil of an area marked out with stones.

The original negative envelope was labelled: 'Village Lin Tin .J. 19.12.00'.
