    Historical Appraisal

    Serial No.: N86 Historic Building Appraisal Old Quarry Site Structures Lei Yue Mun, Kwun Tong, Kowloon Hong Kong has been well favoured with its building stones. The high quality, Historical fine-grained granite was commonly used in construction by the time the island of Interest Hong Kong was taken over by the British in 1841. This situation continued after the British arrival, with quarries stretching along the northern coastline of the Island, ranging from Shek Tong Tsui (䞛⠀␨) in the western part to Quarry Bay (殪欂㴴) and A Kung Ngan (旧℔ⱑ) in the east. There were many new colonial buildings and structures which, at this date, were rich in local granite. Surviving examples include Flagstaff House and St John’s Cathedral. The general topography of the villages of Lei Yue Mun (歱欂攨), Ngau Tau Kok (䈃柕奺), Sai Cho Wan (勄勱䀋) and Cha Kwo Ling (勞㝄ⵢ) in Kowloon was quite hilly, offering little arable land for crop growing, but they were rich in granite. They were well known for the production of stones, and thus got the name of ‘Si Shan’ (⚃Ⱉ, ‘Four Hills’). The Qing government appointed a ‘Tau Yan’ (柕Ṣ) (headman) in each of the ‘Four Hills’ to manage the quarries. There was a ‘Sze Shan Kung So’ (⚃Ⱉ℔㇨, Communal Hall of Four Hills) to discuss matters relating to stone business. The famous Canton Cathedral (⺋ⶆ䞛⭌) was built with granite cut in the “Four Hills”. The British takeover of Kowloon and the New Territories led to a greater demand of stone for construction. At the time, the more prominent stone-cutting stores in Lei Yue Mun included Tung Li Tong (⎴⇑➪) owned by Ip Wa-shing (叱厗⊅) (1844-1914), Tung Tai Tong (⎴㲘➪) owned by Tsang Lam-on (㚦㜿 ⬱) and Tung Fuk Tong (⎴䤷➪) owned by Ip Fuk (叱䤷).
