Village Life-Village Council

Facing the gate of the walled village is the three-roofed Village Council House.

Facing the gate of the walled village is the three-roofed Village Council House.


Place:The Council House, Sheung Shui Village
Date:1964-03-07
Observation:The Council House, the centre of the village administration, was considerably smaller than the Man Shek Tong, reflecting the greater importance of the clan as a kinship and ritual group. This building has since been demolished and a new and larger building built on a section of the moat which has been filled in.
