Pitt Street, named after William Pitt the Younger,[1][2][3][4][5] prime minister of the United Kingdom, and before Acts of Union 1800, of Great Britain, is a street in one of the busiest sections in Yau Ma Tei of Hong Kong, hosting several prominent sites including Kwong Wah Hospital[6][7][8][9][10][11] and the headquarters of Chinese YMCA of Hong Kong,[12][11] spanning across three thoroughfares, namely Ferry Street in the west, Waterloo Road in the east and Nathan Road in the middle, which connecting north and south of Kowloon Peninsula. While said to be in Yau Ma Tei, it could be in Mong Kok or Mong Kok Tsui, depending on context. Its name in Chinese character is 碧街, which the character 碧 /pik/, literally greenish jade,[13] is a phonetic approximation of Pitt in Cantonese and 街 a literal translation of street.[14]

The street features with multi-storey buildings mixing use of commercial and residential, officially known as composite buildings, typical in urban area of Hong Kong.[15][16]

Yau Ma Tei station, joint station of Kwun Tong line and Tsuen Wan line of MTR, laying under Nathan Road, spans to the underground here with two exits, A1 and A2 on the street.[17][11] The ventilation shaft of the station behind Exit A1, with its practical appearance, was the landmark of the street facing Nathan Road. While no bus stop for franchised bus services stands on the street, there are several bus stops bearing its name Pitt Street near its junctions on other streets and roads, including nine platforms of Kowloon Motor Bus on Nathan Road, serving tens of bus routes to major destinations all over Hong Kong.

The street forms junctions with multiple streets, from west to east, Ferry Street, Tak Cheong Street, Tung On Street, Canton Road, Reclamation Street, Shanghai Street, Portland Street, Nathan Road, Tung Fong Street, and Waterloo Road. Historically, Shanghai Street was formerly known as Station Street (North/South) and Nathan Road as Coronation Road.[18] There used to be a junction with Kwong Wah Street, which was removed during the reconstruction of Kwong Wah Hospital around 1958.[19] The street, at the east end, extends beyond Waterloo Road to Chun Yi Lane, but the dual carriageway of Waterloo Road blocks the direct traffic between the street and the lane.

Tung Wah Group of Hospitals Lo Yu Chik Primary School, formerly the site of old Kwong Wah Hospital, is located west side of current hospital.[20][21] The high-rise of Chinese YWCA is also the location of YMCA College of Careers[22] and a hotel The Cityview.[12]

The latest reconstruction of Kwong Wah Hospital relocated Emergency Department, together with its entrance, from Waterloo Road to Pitt Street in 2023.[6][7][8][9] All emergency traffic was re-routed through the street.

History

[edit]
Kowloon Peninsula. Map of Convention of Peking.

Great Britain took Kowloon Peninsula from China in 1860 under Convention of Peking. The development started from Tsim Sha Tsui, nearest location to the City of Victoria of Hong Kong Island and extended northward, Kwun Chung, Yau Ma Tei, Mong Kok Tsui, Mong Kok, and Tai Kok Tsui. Before the urban planning of Kowloon, Mong Kok Tsui became a rural settlement outside the urban Kowloon, increasingly populated, as illustrated in the map of Water Supply Kowloon Peninsula Central Plan.[23] British secured New Territories from China with Convention for the Extension of Hong Kong Territory in 1898. With vast new land north of the peninsula, this fuelled the development of Kowloon.

Reclamation and development of Yau Ma Tei, Mong Kok Tsui and Mong Kok

[edit]

In 19th century, the reclamation and development north of Yaumati Police Station was centred with the extension of Station Street, which later renamed to Shanghai Street.

By 1901, Kowloon map illustrated the street, as yet unnamed, branched east and west from Station Street.[24] This location was considered situating in Mong Kok Tsui for exact and Yau Ma Tei, formerly written as Yaumati, for large area in this period.

By 1910, another Kowloon map showed cluster of streets with name related to Britain, including Pitt Street, along with Waterloo Road, Hamilton Street, Dundas Street, Portland Street, Nelson Street, Argyle Street and Fife Street.[25]

In 1913 report, a gas lamp was erected near a steam laundry.[26] In 1927 report, a sugar factory was built on Kowloon Marine Lot 48 and a knitting factory on 50.[27]

Yaumati Disinfecting Station

Following the 1894 Hong Kong plague, there were several outbreak of bubonic plague. Disinfecting stations were constructed to fight against the disease by disinfecting houses and clothes, with inspectors stationed.[28]

The Public Works began to build Yaumati Disinfecting Station with quarters for inspector on Pitt Street, which remained unnamed, in 1904 and completed it in 1905, handing over to Sanitary Board in April.[29]

In 1912 report, the Public Works laid a 9" earthenware pipe sewer in Pitt Street and Waterloo Road from opposite the Yaumati Disinfecting Station to take the drainage from the new Sanitary Department Stables.[30]

By the time of extension to the New Territories in 1898, there was no hospital for Chinese. Kai Ho proposed a hospital in Kowloon. In response to the proposal, the government offered the location of Yaumati Disinfecting Station and provided initial funds for five years in 1907. The Governor Sir Frederick Lugard, opened the hospital on 9 October 1911, reported in The China Mail.[31][32][33]

In 1958, there was a reconstruction of the hospital and a nurse school, moving the hospital eastward by the side of Waterloo Road, demolishing a section of Kwong Wah Street, and rebuilding the hospital with a high rise building. This resulted in a free land, on the west boundary, of 99 000 square feet of land, returned to the government.[19] The government in return gave it to Tung Wah Group of Hospital to build a school, namely Lo Yu Chik Primary School.[20] The lane beside the school is a busy shortcut from Pitt Street to Dundas Street.
