Hong Kong street

This is a picture of a Hong Kong street in the 1940s that I found many years ago. I no longer have a link to it.  I believe it was in the public domain then.

Can anyone put a name to it?

Date picture taken (may be approximate): 
Monday, January 1, 1940
Gallery: 
1940s Hong Kong

Hi There,

The photographer was likely standing somewhere between Gilman's Bazzar and Wing Wo Street.  The lens in used may push us off a little bit, but that's should be that far off.
