1969 chatham road near the bulkeley street junction (should be on the right hand side at the traffic light)
One can see the valley hill with a lot of advertisements on the hillside. One just above the bus roof and left of its tail says "hunghom primary school" which was located nearby at the Kun Yam street-Wuhu street junction. On top of the hill was block 15 of the valley road estate as shown in the following map.

1964?
The light coloured car in the foreground behind the bus looks rather like a Mark 1 Ford Crapi (errr... Capri). First model year 1969.

Ford Capri? I think you're right. So perhaps the image was from 1969 or early 70s.

It is indeed a photo from a book called

Wuhu St junction?
As Yan Fung Road branches off Chatham Road at the (now non-existant) junction with Bulkeley Street & in both pictures Yan Fung Road is at a higher elevation than Chatham Road in the foreground, I'm tempted to suggest both were taken at the junction of Chatham Road & Wuhu Street.
Having once worked at a location a short distance from the top of Wuhu Street - albeit 50-odd years later, not to mention on night shift - it all looks rather different.
The Ford Crapi (everyone I know who owned one called 'em that - for good reason) looks rather short in the tooth compared to all the other motors in the shot, so am pleased I at least got that right.
