The government's Middle Road carpark was a useful prominent marker when dating images of the Kowloon waterfront from the 1964 onwards. It was later fronted by the Shereton Hotel and disappeared from most peoples view. One can only wonder what guests of the hotel thought when allocated rooms at the rear and opening their curtains to be confronted by a close view of a gloomy multi-level carpark instead of a harbour panorama.

As the MTR West Rail line runs under the site what is to be built there?

Rumsey Street multi-storey car park [1970- ]

Date Place completed: 
1970-03-01

I've estimated the completion date at March 1970. The 1969 Annual Report says:

Construction of two multi-storey car parks at Rumsey Street and Yau Ma Tei, each of which will accommodate about 900 cars on completion, is expected to be completed in early 1970.
