Found this one among the "Carlberg photos" . Others in this album are dated 1950, this one might be a bit earlier as there is nothing to see from the Bank of China Building.
After moddsey's comment I changed the date to 1939.

Re: Photo Date
Probably bought as a picture postcard post WWII. Given that the HSBC was constucted in 1935, statues in Statue Square have not been removed and the vintage vehicles on the waterfront, l think the photo may have been taken in the mid to late 1930s.
