As I mentioned in a recent blog, Hong Kong was always a city constrained by space, and thanks to the lobbying efforts of Legco member Paul Chater, the first major harbour reclamation was undertaken by Governor William Des Voeux.
On the new land he secured for himself at a knock-down price a plot of land that he was to use to build an electricity generation plant - a plant that would be owned by a company he was creating called the Hong Kong Electric Company.
It is so named because it was part of the College of St. Paul, built by Jesuits as 'the greatest center for learning in the East' at the end of the 16th century to provide a training ground for priests to convert the millions in China and Japan.
