The Old Market, Sheung Wan

The Western Market in Sheung Wan was originally a combination of two blocks. The South Block was built in 1858, demolished in 1982, and rebuilt into a new Sheung Wan multi-functional complex. The North Block was built in 1906. The architecture of the market was late Victorian style, with an Edwardian design. It was built with red bricks and granite. There were four storeys altogether: the ground floor for poultry, the first floor fish and the top floor served as staff quarters. The Land Development Corporation is planning to renovate it and convert it into a market with a traditional Chinese style.
