Edinburgh Place Ferry Pier

Edinburgh Place Ferry Pier, demolished ferry pier in Central, Hong Kong, China

Edinburgh Place Ferry Pier was a white, flat-roofed pier building with a long rectangular lower section and a taller square clock tower at its right end. The lower section had two rows of windows, and the clock tower featured a round clock face with dark hands, two dark rectangular windows, a pair of tall vertical windows, and a small door at the base.

Built in 1957 as the third-generation Star Ferry pier in Central, it was designed by architect Hung Yip Chan, with a clock tower added by Chief Architect Michael Wright. Its clock, a gift from John Keswick, chimed every quarter-hour from 1957. The pier closed on 11 November 2006 and was demolished from 12 December 2006 despite protests.

The pier no longer exists: it was dismantled in early 2007 after ferry service moved to Central Piers 7 and 8 on 11 November 2006. The site is now part of the Central reclamation near Edinburgh Place, beside City Hall and the General Post Office. The clock face and mechanism were removed before demolition, and the government promised to re-erect them nearby.
