Blake Garden (Chinese: 卜公花園), also known as Blake Gardens, is a small urban park in Sheung Wan on Hong Kong Island. The park is named after Sir Henry Arthur Blake, a former British Governor of Hong Kong.
In 1894, the bubonic plague broke out in Hong Kong. Because of the dense population and deplorable sanitary condition, Tai Ping Shan area was the most plague-stricken place. Hence, the buildings in the area was bought and demolished by the Government. The area worst affected by the plague was redeveloped. Blake Gardens[1] and the Old Pathological Institute (now Hong Kong Museum of Medical Sciences) were built here.
In the garden there is plaque commemorating the outbreak of the bubonic plague in 1894.
