In 1973, the site of Alfred Holt’s Blue Funnel Line Holt’s Wharf & Godowns site was being transformed into the New World Hotel and New World Apartments.

As in the way in Hong Kong, the New World complex has since been demolished and a new high-rise edifice is taking its place.

The platform for what will be another hotel is in progress at bottom left. A hotel still exists there (Intercontinental?) The names keep changing.

Text on Flickr:

When I was in HK in '72, I asked the girl at the desk in my hotel where to get some film. She wrote down the address of a place on Humphreys Avenue, but I never went, because it seemed like too far a walk. Well, here is that place, in a photo from 1972 I just acquired. Mayland Photo Company, 16A Humphreys Ave.

I guess I should have walked over there-I would have found all these bars, like the "007" bar
