1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 BACKGROUND

The Planning Department commissioned ERM - Hong Kong, Ltd (ERM) to undertake a on Features with Cultural Heritage Value in Sha Tau Kok, Ta Kwu Ling and Ma Tso Lung Areas. The work was undertaken under Agreement No. PLNQ 13/2007 (hereafter referred to as the Assignment). This area, near the boundary with Shenzhen, is not yet covered by any statutory town plan and the establishment of a database of built heritage is therefore important in future land use planning for this area.

1.2 STUDY AREA

The Study Area (see Figure 1.2a ) is located in the northern New Territories close to the border with Shenzhen and mostly within the Frontier Closed Area. The Assignment focuses on the Sha Tau Kok area in the east, Ta Kwu Ling area in the centre and Ma Tso Lung/Lok Ma Chau (east of San Sham Road) area in the west

1.3 APPROACH TO THE ASSIGNMENT

The Assignment was executed in accordance with Section 6 of the Assignment Brief and made reference to the Antiquities and Monuments Office’s (AMO) practice for conducting built heritage surveys. It serves as the basis for future reference and makes no assessment of the relative value of individual identified features. The general approach to the Assignment included: a desktop study, field survey and reporting phase, each of which is described below.

1.3.1 Desktop Study

The objective of the desktop study was to compile an inventory of the features with cultural heritage value or with potential cultural heritage value within the Study Area, comprising:

• all pre-1950 buildings and structures;

• selected post-1950 buildings and structures of high architectural and historical significance and interest; and

• cultural landscape and features including sites of historical events or providing a significant historical record or a setting for buildings or monuments of architectural importance, historic field patterns tracks and fish ponds and cultural elements, such as Fungshui woodlands and clan graves.

ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT PLANNING DEPARTMENT 1 1.3.2 Field Survey

Field surveys were conducted between 20 June and 10 December 2007 to identify features with potential cultural heritage value that until now had gone unrecorded. This exercise included field scanning, the taking of photographic records and interviews with village representatives.

1.3.3 Reporting

The outcome of the desktop research and field survey findings are presented in the Final Report. This details the features with or with potential cultural heritage value identified within the Study Area. Historical and architectural appraisals, photographic records and location plans are presented in the Final Report.

2 FINDINGS

2.1 FEATURES CODING

The Study Area is divided into four survey areas: Study Areas A to D as shown in Figure 1.2a.

A unique alphanumeric feature code was allocated to each identified feature with or with potential cultural heritage value. Each code was prefixed with a three or four letter code denoting the sub-area:

• Study Area A: STK

• Study Area B: TKLE

• Study Area C: TKLW

• Study Area D: MTL

For features with or with potential cultural heritage value located within a village, coding using the village name was adopted, for instance, ST01 refers to the first feature identified in Shan Tsui village. Table 2.1a provides a list of these codes. Those features located outside villages and that have not been associated with any local place name were given the purely sub- area/numerical code, for example, STK01 was the first site identified in the Study Area A.

2.2 CLASSIFICATION OF FEATURES WITH OR WITH POTENTIAL CULTURAL HERITAGE VALUE

Features with or with potential cultural heritage value were categorised as follows:

1. Declared Monuments – statutorily protected against the threat of development under the Antiquities and Monuments Ordinance to enable preservation for posterity;

2. Deemed Monuments – these are features with cultural heritage value where agreements are in place with the owners to ensure preservation. Deemed Monuments can be upgraded to statutory Declared Monuments under the AM Ordinance ; and

3. Graded Historical Buildings – these are historical buildings and structures recorded by AMO according to the grading system summarised in Table 2.2a .

ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT PLANNING DEPARTMENT 4 Table 2.2a AMO’s Grading of Historical Buildings

Grade Description

1 Buildings of outstanding merit; every effort should be made to preserve these structures if possible.

2 Buildings of special merit; effort should be made to selectively preserve these structures.

3 Buildings of some merit, but which have yet to qualify for consideration as possible monuments. These are to be recorded and used as a pool for future selection.

It should be noted that the definitions of gradings are internal guidelines adopted by the Antiquities Advisory Board and the AMO for the preservation of historic buildings but have no statutory standing. Although there are no statutory provisions for the protection of recorded archaeological sites and historical buildings and features (including Deemed, Graded and recorded), administrative procedures are available. Any development proposal affecting these built heritage resources should be submitted to the AMO for comments.

4. Other Features with potential Cultural Heritage Value – Features as defined in Section 1.3.1 (pre 1950s buildings and structures, post 1950s buildings and structures of high architectural/historical significance, other cultural and landscape features) excluding Items 1 to 3 above.

2.3 SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

2.3.1 Declared Monuments, Deemed Monuments and Graded Historical Buildings

No Declared Monuments or Deemed Monuments were identified within the Study Area. Ten Graded Historical Buildings were identified and are listed in Table 2.3a and shown on Figure 2.3a .

Figure 2.3a Environmental Graded Historical Buildings within the Study Area Resources File: 0066834_Grade_Building.mxd Management Date: 06/08/2007 Eight of the ten Graded Historical Buildings identified are either police or military buildings. The military buildings include six forts (STK02, TKLE01, TKLE02, TKLW02, TKLW03 and MTL01) constructed between 1949 and 1953 (1). These were built on prominent hilltops by the southern part of the Shenzhen River and served as observation posts to overlook the border between Hong Kong and mainland China (2).

All the forts face the Shenzhen River, are two storeys high and are constructed in a similar style: with a rounded central portion and two side wings on the ground floor. One wing was generally used for sleeping quarters for up to eight people and the other for cooking. Each has a store room. The ground floor of the central area served as a communication or command room and the second floor as an observation tower. Both floors are constructed with ramparts and gun-slot iron openings. Double iron doors are located at the entrance.

The two police stations (TKLW01 and MTL02) were constructed in the early 20 th century by the colonial government. Both are located on hill tops to better enable them to observe incursions over the border in the years after the 1911 Revolution led by Sun Yat-sen.

The two other graded buildings are the Hip Tin Temple (ST01) at Shan Tsui village and the Residence of Ip Ting-sz (LMH01) in Lin Ma Hang village.

2.3.2 Other Features with Potential Cultural Heritage Value in Village Areas

In addition to the above-mentioned Graded Historical Buildings, Table 2.3b presents a summary of other features with potential cultural heritage value identified in village areas of the Study Area. Their locations are shown in Figures 2.3b to 2.3e . These features are categorized into two main groups, comprising historical buildings and structures (pre-1950/post-1950) and cultural landscape features, which are sub-divided into different types by their function. Historical buildings and structures include ancestral halls, temples, schools/study halls, residential houses, storage houses, shop houses and watch towers. Cultural landscape features include Fungshui features, entrance gates, earth shrines, kilns, bridges, a cannon, boundary stones, clan graves /graveyards and old wells.

Table 2.3b presents details of the features identified in each village area by village/place location and function.

Thus it is not counted in this Table. (c) LU02 in Lei Uk comprises two buildings, one used as residential house and one used as ancestral hall. Thus, LU02 has been counted under “Residential House” and “Ancestral Hall”.

ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT PLANNING DEPARTMENT 7 Historical Buildings and Structures

Ancestral Halls, Study Halls, Temples and Residential House and Storage House Layout

The basic layout of the Chinese buildings (ancestral halls, study halls, temples, residential houses and storage houses) was found to be one hall and one bay without a courtyard. Such a layout was sometimes extended by adding additional halls, bays and courtyard to form a larger and more complex layout. In the Study Area, identified layouts ranged from one to three halls and one to three bays. Occasionally, more bays were found where the buildings shared their gable walls to form a long row of houses. For buildings with more than one hall, the halls were typically found to be separated by an open courtyard.

A range of construction materials were found to have been used for these buildings. Granite blocks or stone as building foundations, on top of which were placed grey brick or rammed earth walls. Some grey brick built walls were exposed whilst others and the majority of rammed earth walls were finished with lime or cement plaster. Gable walls were load bearing supporting the timber purlins structure roof. The roofs were generally pitched/pointed though in many residential houses, a flat roof of cement/concrete had often now been constructed over the front hall. Roof laying styles were found to be either Hakka (overlapping roof tiles covering the rafters) or Canton (overlapping roof tiles not covering the rafters) but some individual buildings were found to use both styles. Some roof ridges were found to be decorated with boat shapes and plaster panel features.

The building entrance openings were typically found to be placed in the middle of the façade. The frames were generally timber, granite or brick. Many of the buildings façade wall friezes were decorated with plaster features, paintings or calligraphy or a mixture of these and crafted wooden panels with decoration features can be found in some building eave ends. Window openings if located on the façade were generally found to be symmetrically placed beside or above the door. Original windows were granite framed with iron bars, or in some places, timber framed windows were noted. Windows were found on the front, side walls and rear walls of the buildings. In some of the buildings, gun slot openings were constructed in the walls.

Most of the Chinese buildings identified in the Study Area were one or two storeys high and of a terraced style, where one house shares a gable wall with the house next to it. Walled layouts were also commonly found. A typical walled village in this area was found to be symmetrical with rows of houses being enclosed by grey brick walls and entrance gates and temples or earth shrines lying on the central axis.

Some buildings were found to be of mixed western and Chinese style, thought to be a result of owners working overseas in the early 20 th century and bringing back western style architecture. These buildings were typically two

ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT PLANNING DEPARTMENT 8 storeys high and had western-style arches, windows and balconies but Chinese (pitched) roofs. The gable walls were generally load bearing and were constructed with either reinforced concrete, grey bricks or both materials.

Watch Towers

According to oral history, watch towers were constructed as a result of battles between villages. In the late 19 th to early 20 th centuries, the village Wong Pui Ling located north to the Shenzhen River was very strong and tried to control nearby weaker villages south of the Shenzhen River. Village battles were common during the period and watch towers were built for defence.

Local watch towers were found to be three to six storeys high and were built in a prominent location within villages allowing them to overlook surrounding areas and act as observation posts. Typically, the towers are square in shape and constructed of grey brick with timber floors. Walls have gun-slot openings and towers have one entrance with a secured iron door.

Cultural Landscape and Features

Nine kinds of cultural landscape features were identified within the Study Area, including Fungshui features, earth shrines, entrance gates, bridges, kilns, wells, boundary stones, a cannon and clan graves/graveyards.

Fungshui features usually comprise Fungshui hills, woodlands or trees. Fungshui woodlands or hills are usually located on the hill slopes behind the villages. The hill behind a village is usually regarded as “the mountain that the village depends on”. Thus, villagers would consider any earth work at their Fungshui hill/woodland as affecting the whole village. Old trees in village areas would also considered to have Fungshui value to villagers that should not be cut without agreement with the villagers.

Earth shrines are commonly found in the villages and they are usually of an armchair shape and constructed with grey bricks. Earth shrines are known as Fuk Tak (福德) by local people. In some villages, temples have been built to serve the earth god.

A total of six entrance gates were identified in the villages, typically the walled villages. Entrance gates are usually located on the central axis in the front of the walled village.

Three bridges with cultural heritage value were identified and they are located in Lin Ma Hang village, Tong To Ping village and adjacent to Lo Wu Station, respectively.

Eight old wells were identified within the Study Area. They were used to provide local people with a water supply and are mostly abandoned.

ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT PLANNING DEPARTMENT 9 Two areas with three abandoned kiln features were identified in Muk Wu Nga Yiu village. These brick and tile production kilns are round in shape. All of them have been abandoned.

Seven clan graves were identified in Sha Ling, Lin Ma Hang, Chow Tin, Tsung Yuen Ha, and Heung Yuen Wai.

A cannon was identified in Tsung Yuen Ha. It used to be placed in a stone house; however, it is now placed on top of a building structure in front of the village.

ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT PLANNING DEPARTMENT 10 3 CONCLUSIONS

The objective of this Assignment was to undertake a survey of features with or with potential cultural heritage value in Sha Tau Kok, Ta Kwu Ling and Ma Tso Lung Areas. Specifically to:

• aggregate available information and fill in gaps to help improve the understanding of the cultural heritage resources in the Study Area; and

• compile a comprehensive inventory of features with or with potential cultural heritage value in the Study Area.

The survey serves as the basis for future reference and makes no assessment of the relative value of individual identified features.

Field scanning identified no features with cultural heritage value in Chuk Yen, Kaw Liu, Nga Yiu Ha, Tak Yuet Lau, Ma Tso Lung San Tsuen, Shun Yee San Tsuen and Ha Wan Tsuen. Features with potential cultural heritage value were identified in San Kwai Tin. However, due to reasons of safety and accessibility reason, access to the area was not practicable. If future studies could be provided with safe access to this area, a detail survey should be undertaken.

Table 3.1a summarises features with or with potential cultural heritage value identified across the four areas. This includes ten Graded Historical Buildings, of which six are forts and two are police stations (located outside the village areas). The remaining two are the Hip Tin Temple at Shan Tsui village and the Residence of Ip Ting-sz in Lin Ma Hang.

Other features with potential cultural heritage value identified are mostly located within 21 villages (Kong Ha, Shan Tsui, Tam Shui Hang, Tsiu Hang, Muk Min Tau, San Tsuen, Tong To, Lin Ma Hang, Heung Yuen, Tsung Yuen Ha, Kan Tau Wai, Tong Fong, Muk Wu Nga Yiu, Muk Wu, San Uk Ling, Lei Uk, Chow Tin, Fung Wong Wu, Liu Pok and Lo Ma Chau villages) comprising 27 ancestral halls, seven temples, five study halls/schools, 176 residential houses, nine storage houses, two watch towers and 13 Fungshui features, six entrance gates, 13 earth shrines, three kilns, two bridges, one cannon and six clan graves/graveyards and eight wells.

In addition, a row of shop houses at San Lau Street, seven boundary stones at Chung Ying Street and two temples at Chun Lung Street in Sha Tau Kok; a temple, an earth shrine and a clan grave located by Man Kam Road near Sha Ling and a bridge located adjacent to Lo Wu Station were identified outside the village areas.
