Belcher's Street

Belcher's Street, street in Hong Kong

Belcher's Street is a three-lane, one-way street running northeast to southwest from Queen's Road West to Victoria Road in Kennedy Town. At its western end is the Kennedy Town Terminus and turning loop of the Hong Kong Tramways. The former Western Fire Station at No. 12, a Grade III historic building, stands on the street.

The street was named after Edward Belcher, a Royal Navy officer who surveyed Hong Kong's harbor in 1841. The old fire station at number 12, a red brick building, reflects the area's earlier history and now serves as a home for the elderly.

The street is named after Edward Belcher, the Royal Navy officer who surveyed Hong Kong's harbour in 1841. Belcher built two batteries on the island, one on the west side called Belcher's Battery; the street below it took the name Belcher's Street, and the bay it faced became Belcher's Bay.

Belcher's Street runs one-way westbound for most of its length, with three lanes; the section west of Sands Street was switched to one-way westbound on 1 June 1996 and the rest on 18 January 1998. The Hong Kong Tramways Kennedy Town Terminus and its turning loop sit at the western end, near the Victoria Road junction.

The former Western Fire Station at No. 12 Belcher's Street was converted into the Po Leung Kuk Chan Au Big Yan Home for the Elderly. It is a Grade III historic building on the Central and Western Heritage Trail.
