I agree with you. I had searched via the internet and could not find any other brick factory matched HKB.

Hi Jade,

Great work on finding the foundations for the old cable car. I think you are correct in saying that the "HKB" brick comes from the old Hong Kong Brickworks at Deep Water Bay, please see www.gwulo.com/node/46766 for further details.
