Rickshaw rank on Pedder Street near the junction with Queen's Road Central. The rank was relocated several times during its existence as can be read in the Government Notifications for stands of rickshaws and chairs :
year | location of rickshaw stands |
1894 | Pedder Street |
1909 | Pedder Street Clock Tower |
1921 | Pedder Street, centre of street |
1924 | no rickshaws, but Taxi-Cabs at Pedder Street outside GPO |
The Pedder Street rickshaw stand probably opened early to mid-1880s, rickshaws can be seen on a photo of Pedder's Wharf from 1886. Around 1924, the stand was suspended and rickshaws were likely distributed to other stands.
Rickshaws were replace by motor cars and taxi-cabs.
