Synopsis:
The near demolition of a forgotten century-old underground water reservoir in Shek Kip Mei, Sham Shui Po made headline news back in December 2020. With widespread calls for its preservation, it has now been designated as a Grade 1 historical building by the Antiquities Advisory Board. We have invited a panel of experts – Dr. Joseph Ting, Tymon Mellor and Fredo Cheung – to share insights on the cultural significance and the architectural pertinence of this reservoir and the pivotal role it played in the development of the Kowloon Peninsula.
