Individual buildings, factory and utility compounds, roads, piers and shoreline works reveal how closely housing and industry were interwoven: the gas works, Sung Wong Toi Road, ferry-pier area and Kai Tak Airport’s edge are legible, with the survey continuing south towards Hok Yuen. The joined format allows the waterfront to be read as a whole; contrasting pink and yellow paper tones make their physical union immediately visible. Both were compiled in January 1974, but their different full-revision dates—August 1980 for 11-NE-16A and August 1979 for 11-NE-16C—mean the composite cannot predate August 1980. It preserves an industrial harbour landscape before Kai Tak’s 1998 closure and the area’s subsequent redevelopment, including the later arrival of the Tuen Ma line and Sung Wong Toi station. Finding these two adjacent revisions already joined gives this example particular documentary and display interest. These government survey sheets were intended for practical use and limited circulation. The joined pair is scarce on the market: we could find no dealer or auction record of another pair with these revisions.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54020020928859,"sku":"P-8-007080","price":680.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-8-007080a.jpg?v=1788980450","url":"https:\/\/www.antiquemapsandprints.com\/products\/11-ne-16a-16c-to-kwa-wan-ma-tau-kok-kowloon-bay-hong-kong-government-1980-map-p-8-007080","provider":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
