【新舊對照系列】太祥街太古船塢宿舍七十年
● 隨著1907年太古船塢啟用,東閘對出、佔地五條街的西灣河員工宿舍亦建成作為船塢營運的配套。五條街的宿舍都是樓高三層,一梯左右兩伙,以紅磚建成,座落於太祥街至太安街之間。
● 附圖是太祥街宿舍靠近海岸的一端,是一列面向球場的單邊宿舍,位置今日的太祥街與康祥街交界。
● 部份紅磚宿舍在六零年代之初由船塢自行重建為十層高、有露台、設升降機的宿舍,在1961年入伙。隨著船塢轉型地產,1975年球場被劃入太古城翠湖台,照片上球場的位置興建洞庭閣及翠湖台停車場。
"QUARTERS IN TAI CHEONG STREET: CHANGES IN 70 YEARS"
● During the completion of Taikoo Dockyard in 1907 , quarters were erected in Sai Wan Ho adjacent to the Gate East as fringe benefit to the workers. Quarters were 3-storey buildings, built mainly in bricks with a common staircase for two living apartments in each flat.
● In the photo we can see the quarters at the end of Tai Cheong Street which was adjacent to the Taikoo Football Field and waterfront.
Starting from 1961, the 3-storey quarters were demolished and part of the quarters were rebuilt into 10-storey quarters with lifts.
● In 1975, Tung Ting Mansion (洞庭閣) with car parks for Tsui Woo Terrace (翠湖台) was built in the football field (the site as seen in the 1950s photo) initiated the development of Taikoo Shing.

今日的鰂魚涌是昔日的太古船塢,留下的宿舍便是鰂魚涌街走到街尾四座「太」字樓。四幢宿舍以「成就」和「興隆」為名,前兩者為當年太古船塢工人的宿舍, 後兩者則為糖廠工人所住。四廈旁邊有一座小小的土地廟,每天來上香、拜土地公的人絡繹不絕。記者訪問工人的後人,才知道工人習俗 ─ 燒豬會,一直流傳至今。
