Various resumption and surrender exercises were undertaken in different years for the back lanes and along North View Street, Fort Street and Kin Wah Street. Strata resumptions were also undertaken for those sections or subsections which involved in the extension of Tseung Kwan O Line (i.e. Quarry Bay Congestion Relief Works) of Mass Transit Railway via Memorial No. UB (Appendix E143) (G.N.713 of 1997). Land Record Search

The dimensions and areas of IL 2366 S.GG ss.4 & ss.5 & Ext. are both   22 9  = sq. ft. However, there was no assignment plan annexed to the Memorials of IL 2366 S.GG RP & Ext. of which the dimensions of the northern and southern boundaries (i.e  ) can only be derived by deduction method (i.e. reducing the dimensions of other subsections of IL 2366 S.GG) Land Record Search

The resultant area of IL 2366 S.GG RP & Ext. is sq. ft. (i.e   27 6  ) and is equal to those of the eastern adjoining IL 2366 S.GG ss.6 & Ext. Land Record Search
