That’s a nice photo of a DODGE P6 lorry which was manufactured at Kew, England  for the British market following the 2nd World War. First produced in 1949 , they were the “100 Series" trucks colloquially called the “Parrot Nose” because of the unique shape of its bonnet. Dodwell Motors was the Hong Kong distributor  for  these lorries.

In the distance to the left , behind the lorry , could that be a surviving corner of the East wing  of the 1st generation City Hall building ?

The east wing and a "temporary" Library block  survived for some time following the earlier demolition of the main block and west wing in about 1936. 

Sorry, a typo , ..... I meant to type "in the distance to the  right behind the lorry "  The building doesn't appear like the corner of the Supreme Court building.
