Bridges Street

Bridges Street (Chinese: 必列者士街) is a 300-metre two-way street in Sheung Wan, Hong Kong.

At its eastern end, the street intersects Shing Wong Street and Staunton Street. The western end of the street ends with a staircase which intersects with Square Street, Kui In Fong, and Tai Ping Shan Street. The staircase prevents vehicular access to Hollywood Road, and motorists must travel via Aberdeen Street instead.

The street is named after William Thomas Bridges, a British lawyer, and Acting Attorney General, and Acting Colonial Secretary, who was active in Hong Kong from 1851 to 1861. Bridges was an old friend[citation needed] of Sir John Bowring, the 4th Governor of Hong Kong. The law firm established by Bridges later became known as Deacons.
