The pipes used in the construction were manufactured by Messrs. Humes, who have their local branch situated on the Castle Peak Road. The laying of the pipes was effectively executed by the Netherlands Harbour Works Co. whose cranes and barges became familiar to all ferry users during the period in which the work was being carried out.
There were a large number of the Colony's prominent Chinese residents pre- sent, including Mr. Tang Shin-kin chief donor, who met His Excel- lemcy and Lady Peel and later handed over the key symbolishing that the Centre was virtually open
A large oil portrait of Lady Peel, painted locally, is hung inside the entrance to the building.
