The old Bank of China building is not built yet. The foundation stone was laid in March 1950, the building was finished in November 1951. So my estimation is early 1950.

Dating I have since discovered from 1954, Queen's Pier seen here in Central Hong Kong still looks relatively new. Used for official visits, including the one made by HRH Prince Philip in March 1959.

(Added: Visit was from 6th to 8th March, 1959.)
