I think that this was taken from the Stubbs Road, or possibly the Wong Nai Chung Gap Road.  (Andrew S)

Terrific view of Broadwood Road amongst other things.

Using Jill's aerial 1949 view I have cropped and straightened Andrew Suddaby's image above and suggested numbers, working from number 13 being a two-storey colonial style house with rounded corners to front and a round turret at right rear.

I think this picture confirms Jill's conclusion elsewhere that the Towers was demolished in 1953.  All we can see is a long clear area above #21 right of picture two thirds up the page.
