相信到過西港城的你都知道它是一座商場。但依它的外貌來看，應該都知道它曾受時間洗禮，背後擁有一段頗長的歷史吧！可是有多少人知道呢？

I believe you all know Western Market is a kind of shopping mall. However, how many of you know the history about it?

現時，西港城建於1906年, 是全港最古老的街市建築物。於 1990 年獲古物古蹟辦事處列為法定古蹟，前身為舊上環街市北座大樓。　 At present, the Western Market is the oldest market building surviving in Hong Kong which completed in 1906. The building was originally the old Western Market (North Block), which was identified by Antiquities and Monuments Offices (AMO) as one of the Declared Monuments in 1990. 上環街市北座大樓於 1989 年已停用空置。直至1991年，市區重建局(前土地發展公司) 展開修葺工程，將之改建為傳統行業及手工藝中心，並易名“西港城”。  The market building became vacant. Until 1991, Urban Renewal Authority (URA) (The former Land Development Corporation) converted the market into a center of traditional traders, arts and crafts and renamed it as "the Western Market". www.flickr.com 西港城的結構屬英國愛德華式建築風格。此種建築風格於 1901 至 1918 年期間在英國非常風行。 The building is in Edwardian style that was popular in England from 1901 to 1918. 以紅磚及花崗石砌成主要結構，利用石塊色彩及紋理製造多色效果，而角樓外牆附有帶狀磚飾。 Combination use of red bricks and granite band on a granite base and the 'bandaged' brick work to the corner towers gives a polychromatic effect.                                  www.kenmerry.com 為適應香港氣候及配合建築物料的供應，建築物的斜屋頂以中國式捲狀瓦片鋪設，表現香港早期西式建築物所揉合的東方色彩。 In response to the local climate and availability of material, a steep roof is used covered with Chinese pan and roll tiles. The roof displays the combination of oriental features into the early Western style of building in Hong Kong.  小白鞋將於下一編部落格中為你介紹今天的小白鞋。密切留意!

遊走都爹利街(煤氣燈街) 和域多利皇后街 (續)

SPD4459- The little white shoes

中環街市

前身--廣州市場，位於皇后大道中與嘉咸街交界，為早年居於中環一帶的華人而開設，一直都係中西文化新舊交替嘅匯聚點 。 

1858年建成第一代中環街市。第二代中環街市原址重建，1895年落成， 屬維多利亞式房屋設計，樓高3層，中央設有塔式建築，並於1937年拆卸。這幢歷史建築係後期藝術裝飾主義衍生出來嘅一門風格，大樓嘅特色就係簡單嘅橫向線條以實用功能為主。中環街市於2003年3月停止運作。與同類建築灣仔街市同屬實用簡單的包浩斯風格建築物，香港日治時期期間曾改稱「中央市場」。

曾有團體要求政府把街市列作歷史文物保障，但政府聲稱「已把整幢建築物各個部份拍照存檔，已經算把它保存」( 咁都講得出…)

The Central Market

The bazaar was established in 1842 on Queen's Road Central between Cochrane Street and Graham Street. In 1843 it was also known as the Middle Bazaar The market was then replaced by residential houses for Europeans. The bazaar was moved to Queensway, where the present-day High Court stands. In the 1850s, it was moved to its current location on Des Voeux Road (then known as The Praya). Its name also changed to Central Market.

Some organizations have been requested the Government to safeguard the markets classified as historical artifacts, but the government replied that: Archive pictures of each part of the whole building has already been counted save it (How ridiculous it is to have such reply)

都爹利街

大家好，今次SPD4459小白鞋就帶大家去回顧一下舊中區警署和域多利監獄。
Hello everyone, we are going to look back the Old Central Police Station compound in this journal. 

圖1.1 

中區警署內歷史最悠久的建築物是建於一八六四年之大樓(圖1.1)，大樓原高三層，與域多利監獄毗鄰。其後，警署逐漸擴建,面對荷李活道的四層高大樓則於一九一九年加建。它與毗鄰的前中央裁判司署及域多利監獄，組成了一組標誌著法律及紀律的歷史建築群。現時，舊中區警署和域多利監獄為香港的法定古蹟。

舊中區警署屬後維多利亞風格，其紅磚牆、花崗石雕刻以及巨型圓柱最為特別；而裡頭又有鍛鐵陽台，以及花崗石建成的地板、樓梯，也值得一看。

近年來，香港政府致力推廣保育和活化古蹟, 所以這些歷史建築群現正在活化，預計於2015年底重新開放。(圖1.2, 1.3)

The Police Station together with the former Central Magistracy and Victoria Prison form a group of historical architecture representing law and order in Hong Kong.(Image 1.1)

圖1.2

The Old central Police Station, which is the oldest structure within the compound is a barrack block built in 1864. Nowadays, the police station and prison are a Declared Monument in Hong Kong.It is a three-storey building constructed adjacent to Victoria Prison. A storey was later added to the block in 1905. In 1919, Headquarters Block facing Hollywood Road was constructed. 

圖1.3

The late-Victorian style building is notable for its red brick walls, granite features and the imposing columns in its entrance hall. The barracks blocks at the left of the main entrance to the Old Central Police Station were built in 1860 and 1913. These have impressive granite staircases and wrought-iron balconies.

In recent years, the Hong Kong Government is committed to the promotion of heritage conservation and revitalization, these historic buildings are being activated, is expected to re-open at the end of 2015. 

圖1.4

域多利監獄於一八四一年落成，是香港開埠初期最先以耐久物料建造的建築物。第二次世界大戰期間，監獄內大部分建築物因受轟炸而嚴重損毀。當局進行修復後，於一九四六年重開作監獄之用。(圖1.4)

Built in 1841, Victoria Prison was understood to be the first western building constructed of durable material in Hong Kong. Most of the buildings within the compound were damaged by bombing during the Second World War. The Prison was reopened in 1946 after repairs.

目前，域多利監獄正進行活化工程, 於2015年底, 域多利監獄會以全新臉孔呈現在大家眼前, 密切期待。見(圖1.5)

Nowadays, Victoria Prison activation works is conducting until the end of 2015, and will be presented with a new face to you guys, DON'T MISS IT.

摩羅街，摩羅街，相信身為香港人的你一定知道這街道的存在，但有多少人清楚這街道名的由來和歷史呢？就讓小白鞋來告訴你吧！
Lascar Row, Lascar Row, I believe you must have heard about this street if you are a Hong Kong-er. However, how many of you know the history behind it? Lets find it out with "The Little White Shoes"!

http://eastweek.my-magazine.me

香港開埠初期，不少印度水手與士兵喜歡在此聚集擺賣貨品，當時香港人已喜歡把印度人稱為「嚤囉」（信奉錫克教的印度人），因此此街便被稱為摩羅街。

In early Hong Kong, many Indian sailors and soldiers love hawking in this area. Hong Kong-ers love calling them as "嚤囉" (Indian who believe in Sikhism) at that time，therefore, this street was named as Lascar Row (摩羅街).

其實「嚤囉」有對印度和巴基斯坦等種族的歧視意味，因而曾被要求改街道。但時至今日，其街道名都沒有因而改變，因為它記載了一部份中西區的歷史。

Actually Lascar Row (嚤囉)  has been requested to change this name because it carries the meaning of races discrimination. Apparently，the street's name did not changed as it record part of the history of Central and Western District.
