Shek Wai Kok New Village
History
In late 19th Century, it was one of four yeuk (約, district or administration unit) in Tsuen Wan, together with Hoi Pa (海壩), Kwai Chung and Tsing Yi. The heads of four yeuks formed a 荃灣安全局 ('Tsuen Wan Security Council') to secure the area of Tsuen Wan.
The area was historically occupied by villages, which were relocated to Wo Yi Hop Road near Lei Muk Shue Estate in Kwai Chung and called Shek Wai Kok Sun Village (石圍角新村; 'Shek Wai Kok New Village'), since the construction of public housing estate, Shek Wai Kok Estate.

gollark: I mean, on my site, I can afford to have *minutes* of downtime without anyone really complaining if I want to reconfigure a server, but Cloudflare has to keep everything running at near-maximum capacity or the internet explodes.
