Corner of Amoy Street & Queen's Road East [????- ]

In use

These three had been marked as Government Property and I thought had been demolished together with the Lee Tung Street/Chun Yuen Street buildings.  Obviously one of the shops is still being used by some charity or local group selling used items and/or organic vegetables.  There is a guard post in one of the blocks.

This government report has some good background information and old maps of this area, and includes the text:

The Urban Renewal Authority (URA) will redevelop the site of Lee Tung Street and McGregor Street for a comprehensive commercial and residential development with GIC facilities and public open space. Shophouses at 186-190 Queen’s Road East (Grade II) will be conserved for adaptive re-use. The Town Planning Board (TPB) at its meeting on 22 May 2007 approved the Master Layout Plan submitted by URA with conditions including the submission of a conservation plan for the shophouses to be preserved within the site to the satisfaction of the Director of Leisure and Cultural Services or of the TPB.

So hopefully these will be preserved.
