Desperate Mission - Germán Cobos (1965) - Amoy Canning Corp Building, Ngau Tau Kok

We recently saw the Amoycan Industrial Building along Kwun Tong Road, but the Amoy Canning site occupied a much larger footprint and the building seen below was located about 300 metres further west - where Amoy Gardens* is located today.

During the helicopter search for Z-55, we can see the main building of the old canning factory that fronted Ngau Tau Kok Road. It was located, more or less, exactly where blocks I, J and K of Amoy Gardens are now located.

*  Amoy Gardens became infamous during the SARS emergency in 2003 when its sewage pipes were found to be a major cause of the spread of the disease around the estate, resulting in the residents undergoing extended quarantine and the estate being fitted with improved waste systems).
