Hong Kong Fire Brigade

Date picture taken (to nearest decade for older photos): 
1935
Places shown in this photo: 
Wanchai Police Station, Gloucester Road [1932- ]
Wanchai Police Station Compound Fire Brigade Drill Tower [1932-????]

Does anyone recognise where this was taken?

From the tower it looks like it's a fire station. The buildings look like Wanchai or one of the roads parallel to Nathan Road.

Note the kids sitting on the ledge, top-left corner of the building!!

Just came across this old colourised photo of the Hong Kong Fire Brigade. It seems to have been taken within a few years of The Great Fire of 1878, judging from the engines on display: One large- and one medium-sized Merryweather and one Shand Mason (the HKFB's first three steam fire engines). I'd say almost certainly 1880s.
