Yau Ma Tei Fruit Market

Founded in 1913 as the Government Vegetables Market between Ferry Street, Waterloo Road, and Reclamation Street, the complex absorbed fish traders in the 1930s before consolidating as a specialist fruit market in 1965. Low brick and stone blocks retain pre-war painted signboards on the outer walls and were listed as a Grade II historic building in 2009. Wholesalers still trade in the pre-dawn hours, lorries and handcarts shuttling stock past the adjacent Yau Ma Tei Theatre.
