Construction of Taikoo Sugar Refinery, 1882-1884

Taikoo Sugar Refinery was located at Quarry Bay, at the eastern end of Hong Kong Island, an area thitherto largely undeveloped except for granite mining. Though isolated by land from the rest of the island, the harbour provided easy local access by boat as well as deep water berthing for ocean ships to discharge raw sugar and load processed sugar. Wharfs remained a key feature of the Refinery notwithstanding several major reconstructions.
