Date picture taken (to nearest decade for older photos): 
1967
Places shown in this photo: 
Sha Tau Kok Police Station [1953- ]

This panormama was taken in 1967. It appears the fields were still in use instead of being left fallow and the Luk Keng villages were still fully inhabited instead of left derelict. The white building across the Starling Inlet is the Sha Tau Kok Police Station which was at the border between Hong Kong and Shenzhen. The tall mountain is Wutong Shan. Shenzhen was a sleepy place back then. Now Shenzhen is a thriving city and Luk Keng is a sleepy place.

Mong Kok Police Station (1st location) [1923-????]

Submitted by David on Mon, 2014-03-24 16:10
Date Place completed: 
1923-09-01

The Mong Kok Police Station is currently at the "142, Prince Edward Road West" site (see http://gwulo.com/node/14850). I'm not sure if it moved straight there when this site was re-developed, or if it has been at any other sites in between.
