Since the 1910s this place at the junction of Reclamation Street and Waterloo Road, Yau Ma Tei, has started in the form of straw sheds as a market of vegetables, seafood and fruits. It is not until 1930s that the permanent buildings of 2-3 storeys were built. They were constructed in block and brickwork with external renderings and roof tiles. The Market with the original features could still be seen now among the later addition. Since then, it has gone through expansion and maintenance alterations, which results in the current combination of original building block, feature façade and patches of galvanized-iron & light gauge metal panels & framing. After the 60s, the Market has been used solely as Yau Ma Tei Wholesale Fruit Market.
