I'm looking into CLP substations built in the 1960s that have employee housing on the upper floors, and would appreciate any information about them. There are roughly a dozen of these substations left, mostly in Mong Kok, Yau Ma Tei, Sham Shui Po, Tai Kok Tsui and To Kwa Wan. I've found one out in Tsuen Wan and another in Tai O. I've been able to access the CLP archives and found mention of them in several annual reports from the early 60s. They were part of a company policy to provide housing for their "Chinese workmen" but few details beyond that.

I am putting together a list of past industrial sites (and some present ones) in Hong Kong, with links to the relevant Gwulo pages (or if there is no dedicated Gwulo page for them yet, Public Works Department Annual Reports). There is already a very comprehensive list on the Industrial History of Hong Kong website - my list is just trying to group together relevant Gwulo pages and PWD sources.  For now, I have not included sites such as godowns, wharves, piers, electricity substations, etc as they are so numerous that it would be a time-consuming task.
