The Blake Pier was a ferry pier in Central, Hong Kong. It was named after Sir Henry Arthur Blake, the twelfth governor of Hong Kong. HistoryFirst generationThe first generation of the pier was built in 1900 the end of Pedder Street for serving dignitaries and colonial governors. It had no cover originally. But, in 1909, an Edwardian-style, structural steel pavilion was built on top, providing travellers with shelter. It was demolished in 1965, but the pavilion was preserved, dismantled and rebuilt in Morse Park in Wong Tai Sin, Kowloon as a park shelter. In 2006, the pavilion was again dismantled, restored to its original condition. The renovated structure was relocated to Stanley, where it stands next to Murray House, which was similarly relocated brick by brick.[1] Second generationThe second generation of the pier was built in 1960s. It was demolished in 1993 to cope with the Central Reclamation Phase 1 project.[2] Blake Pier at Stanley{{main|Blake Pier at Stanley}}The top structure of the First generation pier was transferred to the open-air oval theatre in Morse Park, in between Wong Tai Sin and Lok Fu, Kowloon.
