This was the top terrace where the big canon (now at Coastal Defence Museum) was situated in the centre.  There were 6 blocks of two numbers each with four storeys. No.1&2 as well as No.11&12 were Type A1.  The rest A-type.  Most in the other terraces except one terrace were B-Type which were smaller.  Governor Sir Alexander Grantham unveiled the foundation stones situated at the front of the Canon.  The housing scheme for mid-ranking local civil servants was connected to another one at Chatham Road, Kowloon.
