Pottinger Street

Pottinger Street originally ran from Queen’s Road Central to Hollywood Road. Because of its steepness, it was paved, unevenly, with stone slabs to make it easier to ascend and descend and to allow rainwater to flow down either side. It was named Pottinger Street in 1858 in memory of Hong Kong's first governor, but local Chinese still refer to it today as 'Stone Slab Street'.

砵典乍街

砵典乍街最初是從皇后大道中向荷李活道鋪建。由於該處頗為陡直，故用石塊鋪蓋路面，並設計成一塊凹下一塊凸起，既方便行人上落，又方便雨水沿兩旁瀉走。1858年，它被命名為砵典乍街，以紀念香港第一任總督。但由於整條街均用石塊鋪砌，華人稱之為「石板街」。

太平山街
1894年鼠疫災區遺址紀念牌匾

1894年，香港鼠疫為患，太平山一帶人口眾多，衞生環境欠佳，故災情嚴重。政府因此收購該區的樓宇，夷為平地，並實行清潔居所的措施。當時疫患最嚴重的地方，今已闢為卜公花園。

Before Hong Kong grew into a city, this site was located on a shorefront lane (now Hollywood Road) and was originally named Tai Hang Hau (‘Big Puddle’) after the water that collected here from a stream that flowed down from the Peak into Victoria Harbour. This is where British soldiers landed in 1841, therefore named Possession Point. The ‘big puddle’ was filled in and Possession Street was built over it. The name in Chinese is 'Shui Hang Hau Street', a reference to the mouth of the stream that once discharged its waters here.
