This, the second Wanchai market, was just across Wanchai Road from the first market.
Several groups campaigned for it's preservation, but it was demolished in 2009. The facade has been retained, and will become part of the new building developed on this site.

The second document really, really wants you to know that the market was NOT a Bauhaus design!
