Aberdeen harbour street (1980)

This could be the old harbour street where Aberdeen Praya Road is today. Unfortunately, the image isn't focussed very good, but the sign of a supermarket (Man Sand??) can be seen.

Haiphong Road Temporary Market in Kowloon. Identified by tngan (thanks).

TST Backyard 2 (1980)

Also from the area Chatham/Cameron Road. Maybe from Park Hotel, too.  For me it looks again like a combination of old houses due for demolition and squatter huts.

I don't remember any circumstances when taking the photo, but I'm quite sure that I didn't recognize then the man at the tank.

TST Backyard 1 (1980)

Date picture taken (to nearest decade for older photos): 
1980

Could have been shot from our room at the old Park Hotel (Chatham/Cameron Road). For me it looks like a combination of old houses due for demolition and squatter huts.

Update 2020-11-23: Rear view of Canton Road near its junction with Kowloon Park Drive (see comments below).

Rainy Day1 (1980)

This could be the corner of Chatham and Granville Road looking in easterly direction. This possible as our hotel was close by. Another support is the fact that the sign on the crane reads "T.S.Wong & Co.". This is the same as on my image of the Royal Garden Hotel (shot from Park Hotel at 61, Chatham Road).

Hanoi Road (1980)

Date picture taken (to nearest decade for older photos): 
1980
Places shown in this photo: 

This should be Hanoi Road from the junction with Carnavon Road. A sign says: Tack Long Dis(pensary). Its still there (1 Hanoi Road, T.S.T., Hong Kong). The tree is also seen on Mike Cussans' image "Hanoi Road Kowloon 1970".

Lai Tak Public Tsuen with Kindergarten

Date picture taken (to nearest decade for older photos): 
1980

On the very bottom of the picture (and building) is a sign reading "Tak Kindergarten" with the first part of the name outside. The Chinese name is visible, hopefully someone can read it and identify the location.

With help of tngan its identified now (Thank you). As its so close to Tiger Balm Garden the picture might be shot after leaving the bus or from the entrance of the garden.

Kowloon Park

Date picture taken (to nearest decade for older photos): 
1980

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.
