Facing two streets, the site is a corner building on the south of Wellington Street and east of Graham Street. The site locates on Inland Lot 173. The lot was leased under Government Lease in 1844, soon after the establishment of Victoria Town. Three buildings were initially erected on this lot, being - 66 Wellington Street - 68 Wellington Street (Fig. 1) Map of Victoria Town, 1845 (Source: [8]) - 70 Wellington Street. From the land register, it is known that the buildings were owned by various owners during 1840s-1870s, both European and Chinese. One of the significant owners were Thomas Ash Lane and Ninian Crawford[3], founders of Lane Crawford. At the night of 25th December 1878, a catastrophic fire burst out in Central near the junction of Endicott Lane and Queen's Road Central (near current The Centre), it spread southwards rapidly in the coming morning and finally burnt down about 350-400 buildings in the area including all three buildings on this lot.

    LC Paper No. CB(2)383/18-19(03) For discussion on 11 December 2018 Legislative Council Panel on Food Safety and Environmental Hygiene Review Outcome of the Hawker Assistance Scheme for Licensed Fixed-pitch Hawkers PURPOSE . This paper briefs Members on the outcome of review of the Hawker Assistance Scheme for licensed fixed-pitch hawkers (the Assistance Scheme) and the proposed arrangement for re-allocation of vacant hawker pitches. BACKGROUND 2. The Food and Environmental Hygiene Department (FEHD) implemented the five-year Assistance Scheme in June 2013 for licensed hawkers operating in 43 fixed-pitch hawker areas (see Annex 1) in the territory. The Assistance Scheme provided hawkers in the fixed-pitch hawker areas with financial assistance for stall relocation cum reconstruction or in-situ stall reconstruction to improve the design and fire resisting capability of hawker stalls, and to relocate stalls away from adjacent staircase discharge points of buildings or emergency vehicular access in a bid to minimise the fire risks posed by on-street hawking activities. FEHD updated Members on the progress of the Assistance Scheme vide LC Paper No. CB(2)1809/17-18(01) in July 2018. REVIEW OF THE ASSISTANCE SCHEME 3. The Assistance Scheme ended in June 2018. Among the 4 330 licensed fixed-pitch hawkers, FEHD received applications from 854 1 eligible hawkers1under the Assistance Scheme for ex-gratia payment (EGP) on surrender of hawker licences. The approval procedures for applications were all completed and the hawker pitches were vacated. Besides, FEHD received 422 applications for relocation cum reconstruction grant and 3 002 applications for in-situ reconstruction grant.

  • Hollywood Road Pamphlet
    Police Headquarters Block Location 10 Hollywood Road Date of completion 1919 Main building materials Steel reinforcement, concrete, granite, red bricks Architect Leslie Owen Ross of Britain, Royal Engineer Officer of the British Army Hong Kong Garrison Major functions Used as the Hong Kong Island Regional Police Headquarters and the Central District Police Headquarters after World War II. The building was decommissioned in 2004. HONG KONG HERITAGE SERIES Architectural features 1. Facing Hollywood Road, and BUILT IN HONG KONG serving as the distinguishing landmark of the Compound. 2. The north façade of the building is 4-storey high, offering an impression of solemnity and authority. 3. Constructed with the steel- reinforced concrete technology POLICE HEADQUARTERS BLOCK newly introduced at the time. This freed the adornments of the outer- wall from the constraints of the underlying architectural structure, and combined flexibly the building styles of different eras to give an aura of authority. Architectural features The front elevation of Police Headquarters Block reflects the revivalist architectural style that gained popularity in mid-18th century Britain: 1. Doric order: featuring massive columns bearing fillisters — a classic style common among Greek temples. 2. Roman arch: elongates the vertical proportion of the entire façade, giving the building a more solemn aura. 3. Baroque style: a popular style during the 17th century featuring columns that connect through several storeys. The style is grand and magnificent. 4. The “G” and “R” engravings at the centre of the building: abbreviated from the Latin rendering of the name of King George the Fifth ( Georgius V Rex ). 5. The decorative designs fringing the front entrance: are a symbol of the sceptre-holding disciplinary officials in ancient Rome, symbolising the tradition and authority of the Police Force.

  • ES Achievements N Challenges ENG 9-5-10
    Executive Summary The Achievements and Challenges of Urban Renewal in Hong Kong March 2010 Dr. C.K. Law Dr. Ernest W.T. Chui Dr. Y.C. Wong Dr. K.M. Lee Ms. L.S. Ho University of Hong Kong Background of Study 1. In mid-2008, the Development Bureau of the HKSAR Government has started the Urban Renewal Strategy (URS) review exercise. As part of the URS Review and as a continuation of an earlier study on urban renewal experience in six Asian cities, the Research Team from the University of Hong Kong was asked in August 2009 to conduct a study on the achievements and challenges of urban renewal in Hong Kong. 2. The current Urban Renewal Strategy (URS) was published in November 2001. It spells out the principles, objectives of urban renewal, and the targets, the role of the Urban Renewal Authority (URA), the land assembly process, the processing of projects including the social impact assessment, financial arrangement, parameters and guidelines. The URS was issued to the Urban Renewal Authority. Objective of study 3. The objective of the present study is to analyse and consolidate our local experience in urban renewal as we proceed with the URS review. Scope of study 4. While there are diverse views on what urban renewal should be, to take stock of the achievements and challenges in urban renewal since the formation of the URA, the relevant provisions in the URS would be used as the framework and yardstick in this study. 5. This study selected a number of urban renewal projects implemented by the URA as case studies, including Redevelopment projects - H15 (Lee Tung Street/McGregor Street); K7 (Kwun Tong Town Centre), K2 (with a focus on the difference in approach between LDC and URA); Rehabilitation projects/initiatives - Chung Sing Mansion (the first one in the rehabilitation programme); Tai Kok Tsui cluster; Building Rehabilitation Material Incentive Scheme, and Building Rehabilitation Loan Scheme; Preservation projects/initiatives - Mallory Street/Burrows Street project; Revitalisation projects/initiatives - Tai Kok Tsui street beautification.

  • Operating Review Operating Review
    Operating Review Operating Review This Operating Review covers the Urban Renewal Authority’s (URA) work over the past year. Corporate and Business Plan The URA Ordinance (URAO) empowers the Secretary for Development (SDEV) to prepare an Urban Renewal Strategy (URS) and, thereafter, to revise it in such a manner as the Secretary may decide. The current URS was published by the Government in November 2001 and remains in force. The URAO requires the URA to follow the guidelines in the current URS and prepare and obtain the approval of the Financial Secretary each year for both a five- year Corporate Plan (CP) and an annual Business Plan (BP) laying out the direction and programme of the Authority’s activities. These two Plans are carefully devised to integrate the proposals and activities conceived under the URA’s holistic Redevelopment, pReservation, Rehabilitation, and Revitalisation (4Rs) approach. Among the key considerations when drawing up these Plans are previous obligations, continually changing community aspirations with respect to urban renewal and the urgency for taking renewal action within the framework of the URA’s current mandate and resource limitations. The Plans covering the period from 2008 to 2013, including the 2008/09 BP, were submitted to the Financial Secretary (FS) in December 2007 and approved by the FS in March 2008. The Plans covering the current period from 2009 to 2014, including the 2009/10 BP, were prepared in the third quarter of 2008/09, submitted to the FS in December 2008 and approved by the FS in March 2009. 31 Operating Review Projects In this Annual Report, the word “project” is used generically to cover all categories of redevelopment and preservation schemes, proposals and projects under both the Land Development Corporation (LDC) Ordinance and the URAO.

A Historic Area Historical references and maps have indicated that Graham, Peel and Gage streets, together with Gutzlaff and Staveley, are some of the oldest streets in the territory where a market was in operation as early as 1845. The street outlook, in terms of pattern, gradient, scale and size, and the general height of the surrounding buildings, have been preserved and only adapted gradually throughout the last 150 years. There are international guidelines which stipulated the conservation of such historic urban areas.
