tsim sha tsui and kwun chung 1845

I found this map. It shows a few forts around that area. Could it be that more Chinese forts were present at that time  along the coastline, what we know today is Kowloon Bay, Kowloon Tong or even further along the shores. ? Or perhaps as far as Stonecutter Island ?

Was it possible, that a Chinese battery could have been on todays Signal Hill ?

I know there was the Kwun Chung fort and the Victoria Fort along the shores, what is today Canton Road. Did the Victoria fort had another name before ?

Thank you so much for all your information. Best regards,  Daniel
