Photo cropped from Aerial of Sai Ying Pun 1950s, the map from 1905 in on Gwulo.

Along Connaught Road (after 1900s reclamation), godowns were built in Sai Ying Pun and Shek Tong Tsui (the border between the two districts is a bit east of the "o" in Connaught on the map). 

Aerial View of Tsuen Wan and Tsing Yi = 荃灣和青衣空中景觀 1990

The view is south, a bit tricky for orientation and identification. 

Texaco Oil Depot already gone, the CRC Oil Depot on Nga Ying Chau is still there, only the island has been merged with Tsing Yi.
