Comments from uWants: (from the Chinese using Google translate and me)

In the period 1860-1864, a well-known American photographer - Milton M Miller - was active in Hong Kong.

hfsiu collected a small number of photographs attributed to Miller

----------------------

The clock tower was completed in 1863, which is how this photo was dated.

Miller at the end of 1863 went back home to the United States and the film was transferred to S. W. Haley.

After his return to the United States he bought a lot of property suggesting that his business in Hong Kong had been quite good.

Date picture taken (may be approximate): 
Wednesday, January 1, 1862

Please go to Flickr to help tag the buildings with name.

[Annelise, I've unpublished the Image (external) version, to avoid duplicates]

I thought you'd eliminate this one to save disc space, and leave the other one for people to click through to.

Given it chimed for the first time on midnight 31st December 1862, the photo would be dated 1862
