Stables ? That was Rustomjee and Co. in the middle ? Why the word Stables ? Did they kept horses there at Rustomjee and Co.
Thanks for the clarification
The stables were Dents.
Lots stables in Hong Kong at the time. Not sure what the horses look like. They could’ve been similar to the small Chinese ponies that were run for the race is it happy Valley
