SO UK ESTATE (So United Kingdom?) 蘇屋邨 (十分英國的屋邨?)

It is not in England, but located in Far East, Hong Kong and known as Asia's largest housing development project at that time. The estate was unique, 16 blocks with difference architectural design called "Houses" and named after varieties of flowers, plus London bus, road sign, mailbox, European street lamp & etc, just like to find ourselves in a British country garden or in Ferrier Estate or Elmington Estate in South London. As time passes, the development of Hong Kong and industrious people were witnessed by the estate, however......

位於香港的蘇屋邨不單是名稱(SO UK), 其建築風格及佈局, 加上倫敦巴士, 郵筒, 路標, 街燈等等, 置身其中仿如於倫敦的Ferrier Estate或Elmington Estate。 再加上雅麗珊郡主(H.R.H. Princess Alexandra)於1961年11月8日的到訪及植樹, 使此屋邨比英國本土的更覺英倫味。 十六座住宅大樓, 每幢以花卉命名。 截然不同的設計風格由不同的建築師樓分五期興建, 甘洺建築師(Eric Cumine)負責整體規劃。 法國請來的藝術家負責整體翻新塗裝。 竟想不到老舊的公共屋邨也有歐式壁頂彩繪, 連屋邨地圖都出奇地是幅馬賽克藝術品。 總而言之, 從命名 ,建築, 顏色, 園林以及藝術角度都相襯到絕, 美不勝收, 簡直是個公屋奇觀。 時光飛逝, 蘇屋邨見證了香港人的辛勤及都市建設, 但是... ...

真係悲哀...牛下拆就成堆人影!

同期拆0既蘇屋理都冇入理!

[bigeyedchicken]

Pik871229勿悲, 這正是蘇屋邨那空曠脫俗的寧靜氣氛。 如果人聲喧嚣, 成堆人鑽出鑽入、左影右影, 這還會是鳥語蟬鳴的蘇屋邨嗎？

Good work.

Thank you for posting.

The shot with a man and Queen's Pier was impressive.

What is the stone (which got removed afterwards) on wall?

[bigeyedchicken]

Dear Mr. yuzufilm, thank you for your visit. At 4:17, the disappearance of Boundary Stone of the City of Victoria erected by the Government in 1903 (the 7th stone) 維多利亞城第七號界石 on Magazine Gap Road located outside of Magazine Heights. Half of the Stone was found embedded in a retaining wall under private lot and was missing in 2007. The government just shirked their responsibility and no further action or investigation has been taken.

3:32 Is that City Hall building still there? I remember lots of people got married there in civil ceremony. People who did not want to get married in a church, got married in that City Hall Building. I lived in So Uk Estate since I was a child, I love that place, there were trees everywhere.

The British people, usually wonder, why Chinese people would be able to stuck in such small tiny flats? The flats are crazily small.

So United Kindom !?

[summertime3000]

so many memories there!! from baby to child to teenage to adult.

@keisre889 : 麥理浩 must be a good man. I lived in So Uk for many years. When I was a small child, I saw people lived in wooden hut in the hill behind the No.2 Bus Terminal. They had not tap water or any facilities. I think they eventually moved to government subsidized apartments similar to So Uk. No broken huts in the hill there later on. 麥理浩 is a good 港督.
