Introduction

This is a book about the origins of some of the more interesting names,especially street names, in Hong Kong. The genesis of this book can beillustrated by the picture on the opposite page. Who could remotely expectto see a towering People’s Liberation Army soldier in full uniform andfully armed, standing ramrod straight before the gate as if he were trulyguarding a British garrison?!

It was pledged that the lifestyle of Hong Kong will remain unchangedfor 50 years after July 1, 1997. The only noticeable change regarding nameswas the dropping of the word “Royal” from the names of the Police, theObservatory, the Jockey Club, the Golf Club, and the Society for thePrevention of Cruelty to Animals. The Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club stayed“Royal” but only in English; the Chinese name for the club contains nomention of �� for royal.

NOW THEN

As a former British Crown Colony, many roads, streets, schools,hospitals, and other public buildings are named after British royalty,ministers, governors, colonial secretaries, military officers, and prominentbusinessmen (though most of the early businessmen made their fortunestrading opium rather than by more honourable businesses). Generally,and for historical reasons, British colonial influence on the names of streetsand buildings is most evident on Hong Kong Island, somewhat less so inKowloon, and much less so in the New Territories and Outlying Islands. Inthe 1950s the Urban Council decided that an endeavour should be madeto find English names for streets in European-style residential areas and,

Introduction

2 Signs of a Colonial Era

conversely, that an endeavour should be made to find Chinese names forstreets in “Chinese tenement areas.” The Urban Council also decided notto name streets after persons then still alive.

Names written in Chinese should always have a “good meaning” suchas longevity or good fortune, and must not sound like some other bad orimpolite words. For example, the Chinese would not use �� or ��meaning drain or ditch for the surname of David Trench, the 24th Governor.Stubbs Road, named after Sir Reginald Stubbs, the 16th Governor, wasoriginally transliterated as �� ! sí taap sih douh without ever consideringthe meaning of these words. But later that was changed to �� ! because�� and �� are pronounced the same in Cantonese, and �� is acontainer or drum used for holding human waste. This was thereforeconsidered not elegant. There are many instances where the Chinese namefor a street is not the same as the Chinese name historically adopted byearly government officials or other figures.

Stubbs Road runs from Queen’s Road Eastuphill toward Wong Nai Chung Gap, turnswest and runs up to a junction with PeakRoad at Wan Chai Gap.

English and Chinese street names are usually related in meaning, butsometimes are not. Examples:

1) Same meaning. Peace Avenue �� taai pihng douh. In Chinese, peace is ��.Thus, �� means peace avenue. This issimply a direct translation of themeaning.

Peace Avenue, in Mong Kok, runs fromWaterloo Road to Argyle Street parallel toVictory Avenue �� . Liberty Avenue�� is nearby. All three streets are sonamed to commemorate the armisticeending World War One. These formed partof an extensive residential development laidout by Frank Soares in the early 1920s.Soares, his wife Emma, and his daughterJulia are commemorated in Soares Avenue,Emma Avenue, and Julia Avenue just to theeast of Victory Avenue.

3Introduction

(2) Half a translation. Princess MargaretRoad �� . “�� ” just meansprincess road. There is no mention ofMargaret.

Princess Margaret Road starts from theintersection of Chatham Road South andAustin Road, runs northward, and ends atArgyle Street. I t was so named tocommemorate Princess Margaret’s visit toHong Kong in 1966.

(3) Transliteration: similar sound but nomeaning. Carpenter Road �� !gá bíng daaht douh. The Chinesecharacters for Carpenter Road do notmean anything — it is a transliteration.

Carpenter Road was so named by theBritish because of the lumber shops andcarpenters working along this road leadingto the now demolished “Walled City.”

(4) Different meanings. Jervois Street�� sòu hàang gaai. Jervois Street wasoriginally named �� ja wai gaai inChinese, a transliteration. The presentChinese name refers to the fact that atone time most of the shops along thisstreet sold textiles from Suzhou �� sòujau and Hangzhou �� hàang jau, hence�� sòu hàang gaai. Jervois Street (inEnglish, pronounced Jer-VOYS, rhymingwith “boys”) is in the Sheung Wandistrict, running from Morrison Streetto the junction of Queen’s Road Centraland Bonham Strand.

4 Signs of a Colonial Era

Major General William Jervois was the Lieutenant Governor of HongKong from February 1851 to April 1854 and was acting Governor duringGovernor Bonham’s absence in 1852–53. Jervois Street and Bonham Strandwere so named to commemorate the reconstruction of the Sheung Wandistrict following a disastrous fire in 1851, which General Jervois’s RoyalEngineers had tried to control. Governor Bonham led the rebuilding efforts.

Another, more colourful example is Lyndhurst Terrace �� báai fagaai, in Central. The Chinese name for this street literally means to arrangeor display flowers. Formerly, there were many “high class” brothels alongthis street. The practice was that the customers first bought flowers beforeentering the establishments and so many flower stalls were established onthis street as well. The Chinese name thus has nothing to do with AssistantMagistrate John Lyndhurst, nor is it a transliteration.

Cantonese �� gwóng dùng wá is spoken by most people in Hong Kongand it is also an official language in the courts. It is very much a tonallanguage, having between six and ten tones, depending on which definitionyou use. Tones can be quite tricky. The same word pronounced withdifferent tones can have very different meanings. If you can deal with sixor seven tones you can pretty much manage Cantonese beyond the phrase-book level.

5Introduction

Words in Chinese are often comprised of two characters, not just one.Chinese characters used in transliterations of English names have no realmeaning. Thus, for example, the Chinese name for Black’s Link (in WongNai Chung Gap, named after Major-General Wilsone Black) is �� boulihk ging. The �� bou lihk stands in for Black but does not mean black or,in fact, anything at all.

The Eitel/Dyer Ball system of romanization was used for writingChinese characters in Roman letters, because this is the traditional standardfor rendering Cantonese into English. This book uses the Yale system toindicate pronunciation because it is widely used in language books anddictionaries. It is closer to the actual Cantonese pronunciation but it ishardly in everyday use for writing names or signs. Thus, for example,�� was rendered into English as Shau Kei Wan under Eitel/Dyer Ballbut is sau gèi wàan in the Yale system.

Personal names add another dimension of complication in relation toromanizing Chinese names. The Cantonese in Hong Kong romanized theirnames under Eitel/Dyer Ball but Chinese from other locations romanizedtheir names under other systems. Take, for example, the name of the firstChief Executive of the Hong Kong SAR, following the Handover in 1997.

In Chinese ��

The name Hong Kong �� in Cantonese is actually pronounced heunggóng. The story is that the British first landed at Aberdeen, which waspopulated mostly by Tanka �� dàan ga — boat people. They spokeCantonese with an accent, pronouncing � as Hong instead of the standardheung. Hong or hòhng is normally how � is pronounced. But � meanstrading company or firm. For example, Jardine Matheson is known as the“Princely Hong” in the James Clavell novels.

In the 1950s there was an effort at standardization, but it is immediatelyapparent that the names of thoroughfares themselves are irregular:

We first discuss the roads, streets, schools, hospitals, and public buildingsnamed after British royalty, ministers, governors, colonial secretaries,military officers, and prominent businessmen. We follow with a section onsome other interesting street names, and then with some street names thatwere positively muddled, and those they got right. Finally, we list the streetnames whose origins remain a mystery.

In this chapter we link the names with the namesakes, starting with royalty.Hong Kong was established during the reign of Queen Victoria, so hername is the most prominent. The names of her descendants and relativesare also evident.

It was during the reign of Queen Victoria (b. 1819–d. 1901) that Britainacquired Hong Kong in 1843 (but the British flag was first raised in 1841),1860, and 1898. She married Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha in 1840.Jubilee Street was named for the 50th anniversary of Victoria’s reign in1887.

Connaught Road in Central and Western was named after Prince Arthur,Duke of Connaught and Strathearn, a son of Queen Victoria.

Strictly speaking, Victoria Prison and some other things named Victoriawere named after the City of Victoria, which was the official name of HongKong, rather than directly after Queen Victoria. Similarly, Peak Road andOld Peak Road, referring to Victoria Peak, are named after Queen Victoria“once removed.” Peak Road West, on the southern, “reserved” end ofCheung Chau Island, refers first to the Peak on Hong Kong Island; it istherefore named after Queen Victoria “twice removed.” Victoria Park refersin the first instance to the statue of Queen Victoria in this park.Nevertheless, all these road and place names refer back to the monarchreigning when Britain acquired Hong Kong.

Queen’s Road, originally called Main Street, was the first road in HongKong, built by the Royal Engineers between 1841 and 1843. Queen’s Roadran along the north shoreline of Hong Kong Island. Because of the horsetraffic along this road, the locals dubbed it �� daaih máh louh, literallybig horse road (meaning the road is big, not the horse), a nickname stillused today.

Queen’s Road East runs from Wong NaiChung Road in Happy Valley, past SpringGarden Lane in Wan Chai, and joinsQueensway at Admiralty. Queenswayproceeds west to Central where it becomesQueen’s Road Central . Continuingwestward out of Central and Sheung Wan,it becomes Queen’s Road West, ending atKennedy Town Praya �� !"# inWestern.

Queensway is a relatively new name for theroad connecting Queen’s Road East andQueen’s Road Central, running throughAdmiralty.

The Chinese name for Queensway, �� =gam jung douh, has nothing to dowith Queen Victoria. � means gold, and � means bell or clock, referringoriginally to the gold-coloured bell used for timekeeping at WellingtonBarracks, located in the naval area. Kam Chung, in Eitel/Dyer Ball, is theChinese name for Admiralty; one of the many proposed but rejected namesfor Queensway was Kam Chung Road. The Admiralty MTR station is called�� in Chinese.

Formerly, this section of the road was the western end of Queen’s RoadEast. However, when the military surrendered Admiralty to the Governmentfor civilian development, finally accomplished in 1979, the Governmentintended Admiralty to be part of Central. Annexing this stretch onto

Queen’s Road Central would have required renumbering all the buildingsalong QRC, since the numbers run from east to west, and so was ruledout. Accordingly, the relevant stretch of Queen’s Road East (betweenHennessy Road and Garden Road) needed to be renamed. The UrbanCouncil eventually settled on “Queensway.”

Queen Victoria Street runs parallel toJubilee Street from Connaught RoadCentral to Queen’s Road Central.

Queen Street is a relatively short street inSheung Wan joining Des Voeux Road Westand Queen’s Road West.

Queen’s Pier, in front of City Hall, wasopened in 1954. It was the landing pointfor six Governors and the first port of callfor a host of British royals, including thevisit by Queen Elizabeth II and PrincePhilip in 1975. At this writing, this pier isdue to be demolished to make way for anew highway linking Central and Wan ChaiNorth.

Victoria Road in Pok Fu Lam was originallynamed Victoria Jubilee Road, as it openedin 1897 to commemorate Queen Victoria’s60th year of reign, her Diamond Jubilee.

Jubilee Street runs parallel to QueenVictoria Street, from Queen’s Road Centralto Des Voeux Road Central. It was namedto commemorate Queen Victoria’s 50thyear of reign, in 1887, her Golden Jubilee.

Victoria Park, in Causeway Bay, is boundedby Gloucester Road, Causeway Road, HingFat Street �� , and Victoria Park Road.It was called Victoria Park because thestatue of Queen Victoria was placed therewhen the park was first laid out, on landnewly reclaimed after World War Two.

This statue of Queen Victoria, now at theentrance of Victoria Park in Causeway Bay,was unveiled in 1896 to celebrate herofficial 77th birthday. It was originally putin Statue Square in Central, where it wasin due course joined by statues of KingEdward VII and Queen Alexandra, KingGeorge V and Queen Mary, and SirThomas Jackson, the long-serving chiefmanager of HSBC. Along with these otherstatues, this statue of Queen Victoria wasshipped to Tokyo for scrap by the Japaneseduring the occupation of Hong Kong inWorld War Two. However, as noted on thestatue, after the war it was recovered andthe damage restored, and placed in the newpark at Causeway Bay when it opened.

Victoria Hospital still stands on BarkerRoad on the Peak, although it is no longerin service as a hospital (it is nowresidences). Sharp eyes may recognize itfrom the first scene in the movie Love is aMany Splendored Thing, in which theambulance speeds along Barker Road.Further up the driveway past the buildingis Victoria House (not shown), the officialresidence of the Chief Secretary of theHong Kong Government.

12 Signs of a Colonial Era

Queen’s College is at the end of CausewayRoad close to the Tin Hau MTR station. Itwas first established as Central School in1862, then as Victoria College in 1889. Itwas moved to Aberdeen Street in 1894 andrenamed Queen’s College. Technically,Queen here should be ��, because it isreferring to Queen Victoria, a femalemonarch. The use of �� instead refers tothe Chinese name for the college, whichtranslates as College of Imperial Benevolence.

Victoria Prison was built in 1841, two yearsbefore Hong Kong was officially ceded toBritain.

Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha was the prince consort of QueenVictoria.

Upper Albert Road starts from theintersection of Arbuthnot Road and CaineRoad, passes the front of GovernmentHouse, going almost completely around it,and then joining Lower Albert Road.

Lower Albert Road starts on Garden Roadand runs westward past the CentralGovernment Offices, ending at a junctionwith Ice House Street. “Working at LowerAlbert Road” often refers to working for theGovernment or as a Government official.

Albert Path is a short, narrow, pedestrian-only path joining Upper and Lower AlbertRoad (note the tower of GovernmentHouse in the background).

Prince Arthur, the Duke of Connaught and Strathearn, was the son ofQueen Victoria. He visited Hong Kong in 1890 to preside over the layingof the foundation for a major reclamation of the north shore of Hong KongIsland, adding 59 acres. William Des Vœux was Governor at the time. In1906, the Prince paid a return visit to see the outcome of the reclamationwork. In honour of this visit, Francis Fleming, then acting Governor,announced a new road extension beginning from the old Bowring Praya.This old praya became Des Voeux Road and the new praya was namedConnaught Road.

Connaught Road starts from Murray Roadrunning westward through Central andSheung Wan, ending at Sands Street inWestern.

Connaught Place is an L-shaped roadrunning between the General Post Officeand Jardine House (originally namedConnaught Centre).

Note the various transliterations ofConnaught: �� gon nohk douh forConnaught Road and �� ! hong lokgwóng chèuhng for Connaught Place.

The foundation stone for the reclamationis now in Chater Garden. The inscription,now barely legible, reads,

The Prince of Wales Building pictured facing p. 1 is an interesting case.The signage Prince of Wales Building has been obliterated but the buildingitself has no new name so it technically has not been renamed. The Chinesecharacters on the building only state that it is the headquarters of the PLAin Hong Kong. Similarly, the street signs for Berwick, Middlesex,Staffordshire, and other roads in the former British Army base at Sek Kongon Route Twisk named after military units have been taken down, but thestreets have not been renamed. There are no new street signs for theseroads in what is now a PLA base. “Route Twisk” itself means the routebetween Tsuen Wan and Sek Kong.
