1930s early days photo (6x9cm) of the view of Chun Yuen Street in Wan Chai, you can still see the "big number 1". Before 1935, there was a lot of prostitute on Chun Yuen Street, and the house with "big number" was the mark where the prostitute house was. After the government banned prostitution in 1935, the prostitute house here also gradually disappeared.


1930年代初灣仔春園街景色的照片 (6x9cm), 仍可見"大冧把" 一号; 當年1935年前, 春園街妓寨林, 而門牌號碼為"大冧把"者, 即妓寨所在的標記. 1935年後政衬禁娼後, 此地妓寨也漸漸消失.
