I don't know the exact location, so I've just put a marker on the barracks.

Demolition date from this document.

Does anyone know where further information may be obtained concerning the former St. Eligius' Church, located at Gun Club Hill Barracks which was demolished in the early 1990s to make way for the new military hospital on the site.

St. Stephen's Church (1st Generation), IL830 [1866-c.1888]

This church stood on the corner of Po Yan Street and Hollywood Road.

The first Anglican missionary sent to Hong kong to establish a Chinese congregation was the Revd. Thomas Stringer, who arrived in 1862. Two years later, a site on Gap Street - now a part of Hollywood Road - was secured for a church. St. Stephen's was opened there in 1866. It was hoped that the new congregation would have the support of the Christian old boys from St. Paul's, but they showed little interest.
