Hung Hom service reservoir [c.1895-c.1960]

Submitted by LizB on Wed, 01/06/2021 - 05:58

The 1894 Public Works Report stated: "The service reservoirs at Yaumati and Hunghom have been completed."

The 1896 Kowloon map located this reservoir (with a capacity of ?92,850 gallons) approximately where the Ho Man Tin MTR station now stands. It was also shown on later maps, including the 1956 Kowloon map.
