"1954年一月雲咸街, 香港第一個公共電話亭啟用,
正式提供公眾電話服務"
Translation of note - 1954 January Wyndham Street, Hong Kong's first public telephone booth begins* operating, specifically designated for public telephone service.
It is not clear whether the photo was taken in January 1954, or at a later date mentioning that it was Hong Kong's first public phone which started in January 1954. *Scholars can resolve this with the accurate translation of the words "啟用" - thanks.
A recent news about the decline in its popularity - http://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/education-community/article/1897705/… .
I believe this photo was taken from Queen's Road Central looking southwest along Wyndham Street.
