Original Site of the Western Market (South Block)
(Sheung Wan Complex)
345 Queen’s Road Central

Initially a very shabby market, the Western Market came into business in 1844. It was leased from the government by the merchants in the Central and Sheung Wan districts. The South Block of the Western Market was built in 1858. Since the market could not meet with the demand of the increasing population in the district, the North Block was thus built in 1906. The South Block of the Western Market was later replaced by the Sheung Wan Complex in 1981.
