Lok Ma Chau Police Station [1915- ]

Lok Ma Chau Police Station was confirmed to have Grade 2 status in 2009. It is said to be similar to the former Sha Tin Police Station (now High Rock Christian Camp - see https://gwulo.com/node/38880).

The Historic Building Appraisal on the AAB website (http://www.aab.gov.hk/historicbuilding/en/496_Appraisal_En.pdf) states:

"Located on a hilltop overlooking Shenzhen River, it is one of the three divisional stations of the Frontier Division [...] The original two-storey building (which is still there but extended) was L-shaped with a wall enclosing a compound at the rear. There was separate accommodation provided for Chinese constables, Indian constables and European officers. There appears to have been open verandahs on each side of the main entrance at the front of the building but these have now been enclosed. The structure appears to have been beams and columns and brick in-fill walls. From an old drawing it would seem that the original roof was a hipped pitched roof covered with Chinese tiles, but many parts of the roof are now flat giving the building a modern appearance. All the walls are painted white and there appears to have been many additions and alterations so that the police station although retaining original features such as pitched roofs and chimney stacks has a Modern Eclectic appearance." (this is an extract from the full assessment report)

There are also a couple of modern photos on the AAB website: http://www.aab.gov.hk/historicbuilding/photo/496_Photo.pdf
