Thanks to Raymond for confirming the address was 3, Hankow Rd. Would that have been on the South-West corner of the junction with Middle Rd - where the N.E. corner of the YMCA building stands today?

This pier was roughly where One IFC stands today. The pier was operated by HYF (The Hongkong and Yaumati Ferry Company Limited).
It was originally built for the new vehicular ferry service between Hong Kong island and Kowloon, but several passenger ferry routes also used berths at this pier.

Unfortunately I can't pinpoint an exact location for this place. An email sent to Shatin District council has solicited only vague details, and I can't seem to find anything on the web. According to a very helpful Jadee Bow at the Shatin District Council, they have no exact location because it was probably bulldozed during the development of Shatin town centre and the widening of Tai Po Road. Another council member recalls that it was on Tai Po Road near Lek Yuen and Wo Che (both now turned into Govt housing estates).
Originally established in 1911 as a social and sporting club for British officers in the HK Garrison. Now turned over to civilians.
For those wondering where the theatre used to be.

The Cricket Club's website says that a cricket pitch stood on this site from 1851 to 1975:
At a public meeting held in Hong Kong in June 1851, a proposal that a club be formed on the military parade ground south of the waterfront - the area to be turfed - launched one of the first cricket clubs outside England. The club was to be known as The Hong Kong Cricket Club and one of its objects was "to promote the game of cricket, tennis, croquet and other athletic sports and pastimes."
