Here's a good view over Central, taken in the late 1920's. We can see a couple of changes since the 1922 photo:

c.1932 View of Central, Sheung Wan & Harbour

Near to the centre of the photo is the dark roof of the second-generation Central market, and beyond that is the fire station. We know that the fire station was completed in 1926, and the market was demolished in 1937, so the photo was taken between those dates.

Can anyone see other landmarks that give us a more accurate date for the photo?
