By 1890 sailors from Shanghai were colonizing Pennyfields, Amoy Place and Ming Street, while those from Guangzhou (Canton) and southern China chose Gill Street and Limehouse Causeway, slightly further west.

The area provided for the Lascar, Chinese and Japanese sailors working the Oriental routes into the Port of London.
