Marsh Road

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Marsh Road (Chinese: 馬師道) is a road in Wan Chai, Hong Kong. It starts from Hennessy Road, crossing Lockhart Road, Jaffe Road and Gloucester Road and ends in Hung Hing Road near Victoria Harbour. The wide Gloucester Road breaks the street in two parts. The flyover across Gloucester Road links two parts of the road and Wan Chai North with Wan Chai.

[edit] History

The road was built after the reclamation by Hong Kong Government from 1922 to 1928 and named after William Henry Marsh, a colonial administrator of Hong Kong. It spanned from Hennessy Road to Gloucester Road. In 1960s reclamation, the road extended to Hung Hing Road.


There is also a Marsh Road in Milpitas, CA, USA. It is rumoured that Marsh Road is haunted because a girl named Marcy had been murdered and dumped near Marsh Road. Marcy's death was known by the majority of the student body at Milpitas High School at that time but the authorities found out a long time after the death. The Milpitas Police Department was shocked by the lack of emotion following her death.
