Victoria Prison Compound
Old Bailey Street, Central

Decommissioned and closed in December 2005, the compound is on the site of the original prison built in 1841 when Hong Kong became a British colony. It was one of the first Western buildings constructed of durable materials in Hong Kong, but within 20 years the prison space was so inadequate that prisoners had to be moved to an island in the harbour and also to a prison ship. Once additional accommodation was added, the prison reopened and remained in use, except for short periods during the 1930s and 1940s. (Not open to the public.)

Directions
MTR Central station (Exit D1) walk along Pedder Street to Wyndham Street and walk up Wyndham's steep rise, following it to the right as it becomes Hollywood Road. On the left past the Central Police Station is Old Bailey Street.
