　位於荷李活道與醫院道之間，1869年前名為墳墓街，後易名為普仁街，因為第一間華人醫院—東華醫院於1872年在此落成。

　東華醫院為香港最大的慈善團體，為香港及世界各地華人提供妥善的服務。

　1860年代，有兩間戲院在普仁街落成。一為與太平山街交界的「昇平」（後來易名為「普樂」），另一為與普慶坊交界的「同慶」，於1890年代改為重慶。

Po Yan Street , c. 1930

　Lying between Hollywood Road and Hospital Road, the name of this road was Fan Mo Street and then changed to Po Yan Street due to the opening of the first hospital for Chinese－－Tung Wah Hospital, in 1872.

　Tung Wah Hospital is the biggest benevolent institution which serves the Chinese of Hong Kong and the world cordially.

　There were two theatres in Po Yan Street. "Shing Ping"(later changed to "Polok")was at the junction of Tai Ping Shan Street, and "Tung Hing" at Po Hing Fong. The latter was rebuilt to "Chung Hing Theatre" in 1890s.　■鄭寶鴻 香港歷史博物館名譽顧問
