Old Wan Chai Market 舊灣仔街市

位於皇后大道東,是殖民時期的工務司署於1937年設計的包浩斯風格建築,現時被列為三級歷史建築。建築物的設計以功能為首,從它外牆開通的大窗戶可見其設計是以通風和採光為目的,因太侷促和太暗的環境會衍生衛生問題。後來舊灣仔街市於2009年被收購和拆卸。現時街市已變成私人住宅,高級家品店和咖啡店的聚集點。雖然只剩下外牆被保留,但在建築設計上仍能反映當時的時代背景。而且街市是香港人很重要的日常建築,了解其變遷對認識灣仔歷史很重要。

 

The Old Wanchai Market, situated on Queen's Road East, was established in 1937. The Public Works Department of the colonial period designed this structure in the Bauhaus style. It is listed as a Grade 3 heritage structure. It is based on the "form follows function" principle. Building design prioritizes function over ornamentation and substitutes non-functional embellishments with clean lines. The open and large windows on its external wall are intended for ventilation and illumination because an atmosphere that is too hot and dark will create hygiene issues. Later, in 2009, the old Wan Chai market was purchased and demolished, with only 45% of the area remaining. The old shops were all replaced by high-end domestic goods stores and coffee shops, and private houses were constructed on top of the market. Even though only the external wall remains, the architectural design can still represent the past and keep the locals' collective memory. Furthermore, the market is a significant

Old Wan Chai Post Office
舊灣仔郵政局

建約1912年,位於灣仔峽道和皇后大道東交界,是現今歷史最悠久的郵政局。它代表了灣仔區的特色,薈萃中西文化,屋頂以雙筒雙瓦的嶺南建築風格,配搭西式的尺形的金字頂丶山牆而建。這座建築物,佔據了舊灣仔市民生活中重要的一環。在沒有互聯網和電郵的年代,每個信箱也載着灣仔人生活的瑣碎事務,同是也是唯一對外的溝通渠道。

Old Wanchai Post Office

It built around 1912, located between the Wan Chai Gap Road and the Queen's Road East, and it is the oldest post office in Hong Kong. Not only it represents the characteristics of the Wanchai district but also is the architecture mixed up with Chinese and western cultures. The roof is built in the double barrel and double tiles from the Lingnan architectural style. And the pitched-roof structure refers to the Western architectural style. In the era without the internet and email, the post office occupied a significant part of the old Wan Chai residents' life because each mailbox, which was the only way to build up connections between people and people, carried daily matters.

Lee Tung Street
利東街

説起利東街,不少人都會想起它另外一個名字「喜帖街」。這條街在五十年代已經開始發展,並因爲「印刷一條街」而逐漸廣爲人知,無需宣傳,人們早已把「印喜帖」和「利東街」連接起來。原本的利東街又舊唐樓和地下商鋪組成,店鋪多以前舖後厰的模式運作,使利東街變成一條經年累月沉積,充滿傳統特色的街道。利東街歷盡爭議,可惜最後都不敵發展的命運,最終在2010年開始了重建的計劃。除了名字外,雖然現在的利東街的居民和店鋪都已經各散東西,但依然還有一些遺下的痕跡讓我們認識這條流逝在歲月裡的街道。

Talking about Lee Tung Street, most people may think about its other name, as known as Wedding Invitation Street, and it started developing in the 1950s. Without any advertisement, people have already connected "Inner Wedding Invitation" with "Lee Tung Street". The original street was composed of old tenement buildings and underground shops. Most of the shops operated in the mode of shops in the front and factories in the back, making Lee Tung Street a street full of traditional characteristics that have accumulated over the years. More, the street has experienced many controversies, but it was a pity that it was no match for the fate of development in the end. Finally, in 2010, the reconstruction plan for Lee Tung Street started. Although the current residents and shops on Lee Tung Street have been scattered, there are still some traces left to let us know about the street that lost to time.
