I am trying to find out information at what I presume to be the first police station in the Shatin Valley. You can see on this map that the police station built in 1924 is located in the bottom left. This is now the Stewards High Rock Centre and Former Shatin babies home. But I’d like to find out about the original station which was located at the top of Un chau or Yuen chau which you can see in the top right of the photo. The police station first appears on maps in 1904.

It also appears more clearly on the map from 1908

If anybody has an6 links to photos or articles about this station I’d be really grateful.

Many thanks in advance
