Isn't the street much nicer
Isn't the street much nicer now with Beaconsfield gone and an inviting entrance to HSBC ?

Your observation is correct.

There was also a main entrance on Queen's Road Central as seen in this photograph: https://gwulo.com/atom/19102
Re: Photo Date
As demolition of the HSBC took place in 1981, the photo would have been taken a few years earlier.
HSBC entrance at QRC 1980
Thanks Moddsey for pointing out the error. The Bank of America Building at the background was completed in 1975. Giving the old HSBC building started demolition work in 1981, the photo was taken between 1976-1980. Can someone pinpoint in which year? Meantime, I amend the photo year to "1980".
