Hong Kong Fringe Club 香港藝穗會

The weather was damp and hot after the thunderstorm,  I decided to find a place where I could sketch and have a cool drink.  Fish and Meat made a perfect choice as it has a great balcony overlooking the prestigious Fringe Club and so I ordered a drink and settled down in the shaded balcony on the second level and sketched away the remaining afternoon.  

雷雨後天氣又濕又熱，我便搵間茶座坐下唞涼。Fish and Meat位處二樓兼有騎樓對正歷史建築物香港藝穗會，便坐下一邊享受凍飲一邊畫。

In 1892, Dairy Farm built a low-rise brick and stucco building on Lower Albert Road in Central for use as a cold storage warehouse. This warehouse was later renovated and expanded in 1913 to include a dairy shop, a room for meat smoking, a cold storage room for winter clothes and residency for the General Manager. The building later evolved into the company headquarters until the company moved in the 1970s. The abandoned building was acquired by the Hong Kong Fringe Club in 1984.

1892年建成的舊牛奶公司倉庫原為冰窖，舊倉庫的面積只有現時倉庫的一半（南座）。1896年，牛奶公司將總部搬至主倉庫，其後陸續加入屠場、餡餅生產工場、牛奶分銷中心、零售冰粒雪庫、副食品工場及鍋爐間等設備。1913年，公司將倉庫翻新成為總經理住所。日佔時期（1941-1945）倉庫曾經被日軍掠奪一空。這裡至1970年代仍為牛奶公司總部。1982年，香港外國記者會進駐舊北座，兩年後政府亦將南座租予藝穗會使用。
