Tsim Sha Tsui-Kowloon Point-development proposal-1940

Date picture taken (to nearest decade for older photos): 
1940

This segment of a larger circa 1940 map shows a development proposal for Tsim Sha Tsui which relocates the railway terminus, moves the Star Ferry piers to where Holt’s Wharf was, and moves cargo unloading around the corner. Included, is what looks like a traffic free plaza where the present bus terminus next to Star House is now (emulating a more recent government proposal).

Post Card of Tsim Sha Tsui near Carnarvon Road

Date picture taken (to nearest decade for older photos): 
1930

Earlier came across this on a website and saved this photo of Carnarvon Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, which I believe was taken around the 1930s.  An interesting angle of the district, and surprised with how quiet the district was when the photo was taken.  Have not done work to figure out which road is which yet.
