I am not sure when this photo was taken, but Wylie Rd. appears to be under construction, so I guess if we knew that, we'd have a clue. Don't know when King's Park Flats were completed, but on the back of this photo is written,"From No. 47 King's Park'. I know for a fact that No. 47 was in the northernmost of the four blocks that made up King's Park Flats and was the only block that faced north, overlooking Waterloo Rd. The other three faced south, overlooking Queen Elizibeth Hospital.

Nice shot
A nice shot of Waterloo Road from King's Park Rise with Ho Man Tin Hill on the right. Martin Booth's Fourseas Hotel (Sei Hoi Jau Dim) in Gweilo would have been opposite Ho Man Tin Hill. Richops - keep the photos coming!
The construction site at the
The construction site at the bottom should be Wah Yan College, Kowloon which moved here from Nelson Street in Yr 1952.
Photo date
Thanks for that, I'll push the date for the photo back to 1950 (was 1955).

The hill in the middle behind the Four Seas Hotel, looks like Kadoorie Avenue, however St. Georges Mansion is not there, which would confirm early 50s.
