Peking Road Redevelopment

Newspaper article from August 1996:

Redevelopment of the area where the old TST Market (on the photo bottom right) stood. The new built  One Peking Road looks different to the proposed one showed below the photo. Also, the park sketched in front of the former Water Police Station wasn't built.

More information probably in Chinese.

Ship Street, Wanchai [????- ]

Looks like the Hopewell Holdings redevelopment of Ship St, has finally got underway this week...some interesting sights behind the hoardings to be seen, but likely to be gone in the coming days.

Not sure what the final scheme is? There were soothing words about respecting the scale of the neighbourhood, and the historical aspects in some recent dispatches.

Anyone know what we are getting now?

This SCMP newsprint report from 5 April 1932 should assist in identifying old buildings in photographs from around that era
