Kennedy Town Incinerator worked between 1967 and 1993.

In 2008/9 it was demolished (together with the Kennedy Town Abattoir) for the Kennedy Town Comprehensive Development Area .

In 1996, some illegal immgrants were caught near Kennedy Town Mortuary (one of them was Yip Kai Foon https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yip_Kai_Foon)

In the TVB footage, Police officers investigated around incinerator and abattoir. It showed a bit of Davis Street at (I guess it was Davis Street as you can see the old Kwun Lung Lau was caught in the video , above the trees at the end of the street)
