Petrol station at the Chatham road-Cooke street junctionThis is a photo of the station in the 1950s with a lot of squatter huts up valley hill. They were removed after the 1961 fire. Therefore the picture should be taken before 1961. The Hunghom railroad depot was on the left side of the petrol station.
The station likely built in the 1950s since it did not show up in air view of the site in 1949. See comment below.
It is also not visible in this 1949 picture of Chatham road
=========================================
1963 photo of the station. It is from a page about a railroad siding going to Whampoa dock through Baker street.
The petrol station is on the left. The siding was built in 1937 and abandoned in 1968.

==================================================
In a picture taken in the 1970s, the station was gone probably because of the construction of the Chatham flyover which began in 1968 and finished in 1969.

ho man tin depot 何文田車廠 1950s
Overhead view of ho man tin depot 何文田車廠 1950s. One can see the petrol station on the right and squatter huts up valley hill. The huts were removed after 1954 and the spot at the upper right corner of the photo was still empty which was the site of future valley road estate built in 1962. The siding mentioned above which went across Chatham road and through Baker street is visible in this picture.
date of completion
Date of completion of the petrol station should be in the 1950s as it was not there the air view in 1949
Neither was it in these 1949 pictures
