Very definitely post-war. Two further clues are the totalisator in the race course and the open nullah running down Village Road.

The first two blocks of the Link Road/Leighton Hill Government Quarters (north side) as seen in the photo were completed in 1948. (Source Legco Meeting 1 DEC 1948).

Due to the collapse of the air raid tunnels underneath the south side of the hill,  a third block could not be built as back filling of the tunnels was required.
