This one is shot somewhere in Tsim Tsa Tsui. Possibly in Kowloon Park, and the two houses on right and left hand side might be Hanley and Manley Houses, resp. If you go to maximum magnification a (swimming?) crane can be seen in the background.

Junction of Cornwall Ave., and Mody Road [????- ]

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.
