Daniel Joseph Jaffé

Jaffe Road, a street in Wan Chai and Causeway Bay, Hong Kong was named after him.

Daniel Jaffé was born in London to the Jaffe family and educated at City & Guilds Westminster, earning a diploma of associate (A.C.G.I.).

He was responsible for the Tytam (also spelt Tai Tam) waterworks with intermediate dam, later the 2nd section of the Tytam Tuk with the construction of the then-largest dam in the Far East, which was officially opened by Sir Henry May, then governor of the territory, in February 1918.

He went home on leave in 1918, suffering from sprue and inflammation of the liver, and was invalided out of the Colonial Service in autumn 1919.

He spent considerable time in Eversleigh Hospital for Tropical Diseases suffering from pernicious anaemia.
