Administration[edit]
Tai Lam Wu, including Ngau Liu (牛寮), is a recognized village under the New Territories Small House Policy.[1]
History[edit]
Tai Lam Wu was part of the inter-village grouping, the Ho Chung Tung (蠔涌洞) or Ho Chung Seven Villages (蠔涌七鄉), which had its centre in Ho Chung.[2]
At the time of the 1911 census, the population of Ngau Liu was 14. The number of males was 5.[3]
In 1955, Austin Coates reported that Ngau Liu was very small Punti hamlet, comprising two families surnamed Wan and Chan. He described the village as a subsidiary of Tai Lam Wu.[4]
