awarded grade II listing:

Wan Chai Police Station (灣仔警署), also known as No. 2 Police Station
(二號差館) or Eastern Police Station, is situated at No. 123 Gloucester Road.

This 'Wall' is just behind 'The Pawn'.

These three had been marked as Government Property and I thought had been demolished together with the Lee Tung Street/Chun Yuen Street buildings.  Obviously one of the shops is still being used by some charity or local group selling used items and/or organic vegetables.  There is a guard post in one of the blocks.

This one is just for your comparison.  This one is definitely more modern, but the style remained similar to those three story blocks, ie, Guangzhou style shop houses.  I wouldn't mind living in one of these copy cats, or even one of the original ones, provided I could afford it.  With suitable acoustics material and the tall ceiling it would be great to match it with some valves amplifiers and planar speakers.
