Located on section 734, Adelaide Road, next to the tramshed[1] between Wallace, Drummond and Douglas Streets, Hop Sing's Market Garden was listed in 1878 as one of the first market gardens in Wellington.[2]

Hop Sing and his gardens came to the official notice of the 'Inspector of Nuisances' due to the "offensive state of [his] Chinaman's garden on Adelaide Road, and instructed to install 'sanitary appliances', as per local bylaws.[1]
