Temporary pier off Ice House Street [1894-1911]

Submitted by David on

Though described as a temporary pier, it was here for over 16 years.

Notes from Moddsey on http://gwulo.com/node/7000#comment-14020:

In November 1892, a contract was signed for the construction of a temporary pier opposite Ice House St for the purposes of accommodating ferry and other traffic plying from Pedder's Wharf and constructing Section No. 7 of the praya reclamation works.

Western Market pier at Morrison Street / Connaught Road for ferries to Mong Kok & Sham Shui Po [????-c.1939]

Submitted by David on

This pier is shown on Plate 3-5a of Mapping Hong Kong, marked "Ferry to Mong Kok & Sham Shui Po".

On Plate 3-5b it is simply marked "Govt Pier", probably because the ferry services had re-located to the then new Vehicular Ferry Pier between Jubilee Street and Queen Victoria Street.
