The little white shoes are going to introduce the new Western Market to you!

SPD4459 The Western Market

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”。 於 2003 年再進行翻新工程，交由德藝會有限公司管理，並運用活化再利用的概念，增添主題餐廳及多家特色商店，為西港城及周邊環境注入新的經濟生命力，成為匯聚古蹟、商貿、美食、藝術的香港文物。

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". The refurbishment taken place again in 2003.
Adopting the concept of adaptive-reuse, the building has been brought back to their useful economic life by accommodating theme restaurant and boutique shops that turning the building and the vicinity into a place for lifestyle shopping and leisure activities.

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

歷史建築級別：法定古蹟

落成年份：1875至1889年間

有一條花崗石建造的石階，石階上那四盞香港僅存的煤氣街燈， 每晚6:00準時亮起，為這條寧靜小街， 輕輕抹上了一層柔和的淡黃，認真好有feel! 現仍由原為本港提供街道照明而開辦的香港中華煤氣公司繼續操作。
