水坑口

1930年的港島水坑口及歷史圖片

水坑口(英語:Possession Point,直譯:屬領角)從前是香港島西北岸的一海角,1852年進行的《文咸填海計劃》,水坑口從岸邊成為了內陸地區。在1980年代或者以前的地圖上,荷李活道公園被標示為水坑口。水坑口是根據街旁的大水坑而命名的。在香港開埠早期,此處為香港居民的重要水源。

歷史

1841年1月25日,英國人義律清朝欽差大臣琦善私擬訂定《穿鼻草約》,儘管草約並沒有被雙方正式簽署,皇家英國海軍軍官卑路乍仍率領軍艦搶灘登陸香港,英軍測量人員此前早已測定香港島西面有一片突出的高地,既平坦又臨海,可以用作軍旅紮營,於是命令工兵開闢從海旁到此處高地的道路,即今日的水坑口街。這片高地就是今日位於水坑口街西荷李活道公園一帶的大笪地

1月26日,英國遠東艦隊支隊司令伯麥(J. J. G. Bremer)乘高爾合號(HMS Calliope)來到香港,舉行升英國國旗儀式,宣示主權,並且在海面鳴炮,表示正式佔領香港。他們在水坑口登陸,將該處命名為「屬領角」[1]Possession Point)。
