What year was this taken?

Image (external): 

I just got a set of B&W negatives from eBay, and I roughly scanned this one,to see if anyone here can pinpoint what year it might have been taken? The negatives are 35mm in size, but the perforations do not fit the holder I have for my scanner, so I'm sending them out to be scanned. I'll put them up here when they come back.

View from Shamrock Kowloon

You'll want to click through to Flickr for the original-size version of this - there's lots to see.

In the distance are the black, circular oil tanks, with breakwater beyond that. It looks as though there is a landing craft passing by, a little distance out to sea.

Right from that is the Jordan Road ferry terminal, with lots of buses parked outside it.

thanks to hksparky for pointing these photos out... This is an unusual view - I'm wondering if it's from Stonecutters. You can see Lion Rock on the right
