Pedder’s Wharf Predecessor (zeroth generation) [c.1855-c.1863]
The first reclamation started around 1850. One of the first areas to be reclaimed was in front of Government properties (Post Office, Supreme Court) because many owners of lots at the old waterfront refused to allow reclamation. On the new reclaimed land (ML 100) a house was built: Duddell's / Hunt & Co. / Jardine, Matheson & Co.- ML 100 [1855-1907].
