HK HongKong_KennedyTown_1974

Think this is Catchick Street close to the Kennedy Town abbatoirs and the waste incinerator. The Kennedy Town Tram Terminus should be a bit further down the road.

Date picture taken (to nearest decade for older photos): 
1974

Market & Slaughter House, Aberdeen [1912-????]

Date Place completed: 
c.1912-01-31 (Day is approximate)

Marker's location is a guess, based on this description in the 1911 PWD Annual Report:

91Market and Slaughter House at Aberdeen.—The preparation of the site for this market, begun in 1910, was completed in March at a cost of $4,613.11, of which $2,413.11 was spent in 1911. It consisted of reclaiming an area on the foreshore between the principal portion of the village and the Dock Company’s premises and included the construction of one of the side walls of a nullah.
