Mount Parish

[2] A granite pillar at the foot of the hill, beside Queen's Road East, acted as a boundary stone of Royal Navy lands.

In the early 1950s the Infectious Diseases Hospital was demolished in order to make way for a new campus of Wah Yan College, Hong Kong, opened in 1955.

[3] The campus of Wah Yan College, Hong Kong still stands at the top of the mount and covers an area of 20,000 square metres (220,000 sq ft).

It was completed and officially opened on 27 September 1955 by the then Governor Sir Alexander Grantham, replacing the old campus at Robinson Road.

It was designed by Professor Gordon Brown of the University of Hong Kong, containing classrooms, laboratories, a hall and a chapel.

In 1992 a landslide at Mount Parish caused the death of a driver, who was buried alive in his car at Kennedy Road.

[5][6] There is a network of air raid precaution (ARP) tunnels under Mount Parish, which was built by the Government some time before the Battle of Hong Kong in 1941.

[7][8] In the evening of 24 December 1941, Major-General C. M. Maltby warned that the advancing Japanese forces might use the ARP tunnels for infiltration.
