Anti-Corruption - Bill Lake (1975) - Old Wanchai Police Station, Jaffe Road

The old Wanchai Police Station has ceased to be a functioning station for quite some time now (and it remains the only one I have ever been inside - unlike a lot of other HKers of late who have not had much choice in the matter). Anyway, if it looks a bit different to my usual images of the building, it's because this is the rear of the building on Jaffe Road. This is still part of the film's rather lengthy preamble.

Hi Phil,

In latter days the brick wall had been painted white. Some time after the station was decommissioned, a lorry driver backed his vehicle into the wall and caused some damaged.

Hi Thomas _ I seem to recall the incident with the truck. Very typical of HK truck drivers - they're either backing into walls or old people...
