Are the various buildings identifiable?  Thanks to Klaus a more accurate date is now added.

For comparison (and development over time), here are photos from 1980 (annotated) and 2017.

One change compared to the 1950s photo is the replacement of BMH Mount Kellett by 14 Mount Kellett Road, six detached houses on site of the former War Memorial Hospital / Royal Navy Hospital / BMH Mount Kellett.

On the 1950s photo is Vivian Court behind BMH. Vivian Court was completed in 1961, so the photo should be from 1960 or 1961 rather than the 1950s.

Not too much change in the next 37 years.
