Yellowthread Street (TV Series) - Bruce Payne (1990) - Quarry Bay Municipal Services Building, Quarry Bay Street

Once upon a time there was an official body in the Hong Kong Govt called the Urban Council. It was basically responsible for Govt services that are now run by the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department and the Leisure and Cultural Services Department - in other words a huge area of control - and by 1994 it was a body wholly elected by a one person one vote democratic system.

Tung Che Hwa got rid of it pretty quick - can't have any of that silly democracy nonsense now can we...

Anyway, I thought I would mention it because the U.C logo pops up in our next screen capture as Eden (Bruce Payne) waits outside what was the Urban Council Quarry Bay Complex for his ride to meet the evil Melvin Wong in Angel Eyes.

Pretty much all trace of the former Urban Council has been removed but you can still see its emblem on the Central Library building opposite Victoria park. Anyway, when the U.C was finally abolished, everything was renamed and this building above, on Quarry Bay Street, became the Quarry Bay Municipal Services Building.

Other than a bit of extra bridging from the pedestrian flyover (an extension of the same one that can be seen in the distance on this post) and the obvious name change, it hasn't changed at all.
