1957 tonnochy-hennessey junction looking north.

One can see the Tonnochy dance hall on the right between Lockhart road and Jaffe road.

From 1949 to 1956, the Tonnochy pier hosted the Wanchai-Yau Ma Ti line.

In 1956, the new Stewart pier took over the Wanchai-Yau Ma Ti line. Tonnochy pier hosted the Kowloon city line instead. In 1963, it expanded its service to Hung Hom until its demolition in 1968.

In this picture, the sign read like "往九龍城小輪 or ferry to Kowloon city" .

One can see the buses at the Gloucester junction terminus for line number 8 going to Shau Kei Wan.
