Referred to as a 'coal bunker' on the 1952 map, and 'Lai Chi Kok coal yard' on the 1956 Kowloon map. It seems to have covered quite a large area. 

By 1968, the coalyard had been replaced by the Lai Chi Kok Incinerator, as can be seen on one of the photos here: https://gwulo.com/node/30761 (see also the 1970 HK map on https://www.hkmaps.hk/viewer.html)
