Cattle depot and slaughterhouse, Hung Hom [c.1892-c.1908]

These adjacent sites are shown on the 1896 map as being located very close to the harbourfront at Hung Hom Bay. They were replaced by the new Cattle Depot and Slaughterhouse at Ma Tau Kok from 1908 onwards; a relocation of the facilities was necessary due to the construction/expansion of the railway works at Hung Hom (see 1907 Public Works Report, at 93).

Marker's location is a guess, based on this description in the 1911 PWD Annual Report:

91Market and Slaughter House at Aberdeen.—The preparation of the site for this market, begun in 1910, was completed in March at a cost of $4,613.11, of which $2,413.11 was spent in 1911. It consisted of reclaiming an area on the foreshore between the principal portion of the village and the Dock Company’s premises and included the construction of one of the side walls of a nullah.
