South Point Settlement Remains

[1] The South Point Settlement Remains comprises the Chinese South Point Temple and two other small temples, ruins of three structures including the railway station and adjacent water tank and all other archaeological and structural remains of the settlement in the vicinity of the former town site.

It appears that the development of the South Point mining fields began from about 1914 and they became the main source for at least four decades.

When relocation was completed, the South Point residential area was almost totally cleared so that the ground beneath could be mined.

[2][1] The remnants of the original South Point settlement are historically significant as a reminder of one of the Island's early, major residential areas.
