Austin Avenue Kow loon early 196s

Hello

I'm interested to hear from anyone who might have informaiton and or pictures of what Austin Avene and the surrounding area looked like in the early 1960s. I am a foundling who was left on the stairwell of number 9 Austin avenue that "block" when last I visited back in 2012 was offices and a night club
But I would love to know more about that area what was there where the local police station might have been

Many thanks
