This one was shot quite likely from the same spot as the others in this series. Unfortunately, its a bit too bright.

Clear visible right hand side on the slope there is  a  brownish/reddish building, this is Altadena House (finished 1974) at 27, Barker Road. Behind that is Cragside Mansion at 23, Barker Road. In front of Altadena is a a two-storey building with a flag. Below is a detail from the 1980 picture, and below that one is a detail from a 2014 picture.  The house in front is a new one, these are Richmond Houses at 31, Barker Road.

Demolision date is uncertain but according to a Wiki entry in Chinese it should be around the 1930's.  The same Wiki entry also have a list of the early police stations.

There is a photo of this police station at this blog.
