The Building Authority today declared Nos. 220 and 222
Queen's Road West to be in a dangerous condition, and No. 224 Queen's
Road West liable to become dangerous, and ordered demolition.
In a statement issued this morning, the Principal Government
Building Surveyor said that in the course of routine inspections of
these three three-storey pre-war buildings, fractures were found in the
brick work of the load bearing party wall between Nos. 220 and 222.
There are also signs of disturbance in the brickwalls of the
rear kitchen blocks of both these buildings, he said.
Much of the structural timber of the floors and roofs is
extensively decayed, he added.
I
It is considered that No. 224, which stands at the corner of
Eastern Street and Queen's Road West, is liable to become dangerous during
or after the demolition of Nos. 220 & 222.
