When and how did the piece of land, once belonged to the tobacco manufactory, split and a part become Kwong Wah Hospital ?

Thomas Ngan: The factory might have taken up the whole lot from the SW corner of Waterloo & Nathan up the NE corner of modern day Soy Street/Kwong Wah Street/Yim Po Fong Street. I guess there ought to be something in GRO or Lands Department by checking out the deeds of the buildings in the area for clue.
