Temporary Government Buildings at Tai Po [1899-1908]

Submitted by Klaus on Tue, 08/17/2021 - 21:21

From Heritage Impact Assessment of Old Tai Po Police Station, page 14 ff.

In early April 1899, the police had erected sheds from mats on Flagstaff Hill (overlooking Tai Po) to act as the temporary police station, and to provide a venue for the formal flag-raising ceremony on the 17th April. These huts were burnt down twice by opposing locals.
