History
The sites where Sham Shui Po Park, Lai Kok Estate, Lai On Estate and West Dragon Centre are located were formerly Sham Shui Po Barracks (Chinese: 深水埗軍營) for British Army between 1910s to 1977. During World War II, the barrack was attacked by Japanese Army and it became a Japanese concentration camp. After the war, the barracks were reused by British Army until 1977, when they were closed[1][2] Part of the site became Lai Kok Estate in 1981, and Sham Shui Po Park in 1983, while another part was became a refugee camp for Vietnamese boat people.[3] In 1989, the refugee camp was closed and replaced by Lai On Estate and West Dragon Centre, in 1993 and 1994 respectively.
In 1992, the Sham Shui Po Ferry Pier terminated ferry service due to West Kowloon Reclamation Project. Fu Cheong Estate was built in 1978 on the site of the bus terminus of the former pier, located between Yen Chow Street and Tung Chau Street. In 1977, the sea outside Tung Chau Street was reclaimed, the ferry pier was relocated near the newly reclaimed land near Yen Chow Street in 1978, and Nam Cheong Estate was built in 1989 on land beyond the old ferry pier[4][5][6] located at the junction of Pei Ho Street and Tung Chau Street.
