Hi there,

Ocean Terminal and Star House should give some clues too.  My former employer started in the Ocean Terminal back in 1966 and these two are shown in the photo alright.  Not early 1960, at least mid-1960.

Best Regards,

Hi there,

If it was Connaught Centre it should be behind Union House.  That construction looked like it was beside it.  OK, let the fun begin.  Shall we do a count of the buildings?  That would surely help to date it.

Best Regards,

Hi there,

My observation, west to east started from the water front, Island side:

1.  Union House

2.  St. George'e Building? (under construction)

3.  Mandarin Hotel (behind Prince's Building)

4.  Prince's Building

5.  City Hall (both high & low blocks)

6.  HMS Tamar

7.  Mercury House (behind Southerland House)

8.  Southerland House

 

Hong Kong Club seemed to be obsured by Bank of China.

My 2 cents,

T
