Duncombe Alley is an interesting alley on the 700th block of Jackson Street (between Grant and Stockton Street).  There's an iron gate now at the opening of the alley now.   I remember there was only a small handmade wooden sign for the alley long ago. 

This alley went all the way through to the other side on Pacific Avenue.  When they built the Ping Yuen Housing Projects in the 50's it became a dead end alley.

A thirteen step stairway leads down into the alley.

Just a few residences, a village association and a small alterations shop.

At the end of the alley, a sign for the Hom Village Association adorned with plants.
