The gate of Kat Hing Wai, Kam Tin, Yuen Long 元朗錦田吉慶圍的大鐵閘門

When in 1899, the British took over the lease of the New Territories, the villagers quite naturally locked the gates. This was not considered a cooperative move so the British attacked the village and removed the gates. The gates were restored in their original place in 1925.1899年,英國接管新界,居民關閉鐵門,被英軍認為是不合作的舉動,英軍於是攻入圍村,並把鐵門拆除。1925年,鐵門被重新安裝在原來的位置。
