西楼角

西楼角(英语:Sai Lau Kok),原称树头角(英语:Shu Tau Kok),是香港一处地方,位于荃湾市区西北,现时为荃湾港铁西楼角车厂,而西楼角村已搬迁至荃湾市区东北。

荃湾市区有两条街道以西楼角命名纪念,名为西楼街及西楼角路;前者位于市中心旧区近沙咀道大河道,早于1950年代落成,在1990年代后期纳入土地发展公司荃湾七街重建项目而封闭消失,现址为万景峯荃新天地。西楼角路位于市中心北部,于1980年代随地下铁路建设而兴建。

地理

原本树头角村是两条涌汇合之地,东南有大沥河,大约现时的木棉下村。树头角东南是三栋屋,西南近海为木棉下,西面过木棉下是白田坝,东北沿大沥河上山有老围,即石围角老围

今日西楼角指西楼角路两旁和荃湾港铁车厂,青山公路以北一带。而原有的西楼角村,因荃湾新市镇的发展,向西迁至大沥河西岸。

历史

1955年5月10日,西楼角河背坑发生山洪暴发。在晚上7时至11时冲走八间木屋,另有22间冲毁。影响77户和251人[1]

1978年5月12日,香港政府宣布收回西楼角七栋楼,以兴建地下铁路车厂。商户和业主,因为不满意赔偿而拒绝搬走。事件一直僵持到1979年,业主企图拆西楼角新路铁闸,酿成警民流血冲突。[2]
