Hi Daniel,

The white building in the middle of the photo was Peak Mansions. 

1950's seems likely. The vacant plot behind Peak Mansions had been occupied by a building named "Formosa" that was demolished on a post-war date yet to be established. The pic at www.gwulo.com/atom/32453 has been dated to October 1953 and shows Formosa still standing. Assuming the 1953 date is accurate, your photo must have been taken sometime after October 1953.
