Demolished / No longer exists
This is the old northern end of Lock Road. Today Lock Road's northern exit is on Haiphong Road, but previously a solid block of buildings ran along the southern side of Haiphong Road, so Lock Road made a 90-degree turn and exited onto Nathan Road instead. You can see the old layout on the 1956 map: http://gwulo.com/node/34636#17/22.29733/114.17229/Map_by_ESRI-1956_Kowl…

Lock Road
(Updated 24 December 2025)
Lock Road came into use in 1931 commencing from Peking Road and terminating at the north side of K. I. L. 406. See Government Gazette Notice No. 21 at: https://sunzi.lib.hku.hk/hkgro/view/g1931/617712.pdf
The 1938 Street Index for Nathan Road shows there was a junction at Nathan Road next to the Station Building for access to Lock Road.
