Shau Kei Wan Police Station (1st Generation) [1872-????]

The community of former Hong Kong police officers now in retirement, and scattered around the world, share a common bond of pride in their profession and are in regular contact with each other via the internet and the Royal Hong Kong Police Association in London. The information they have contributed helped to date the scene on the left, which shows Shau Kei Wan Police Station in the 19th century.

Hong Kong Fire Brigade

Date picture taken (to nearest decade for older photos): 
1880

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.
