On 30 January 1841, Charles Elliot proposed to Imperial Commissioner Qishan the withdrawal of troops stationed at the Tsim Sha Tsui fort; Qishan agreed and implemented it.
In May 1841, the Kwun Chung and Tsim Sha Tsui batteries were dismantled by British forces, their barracks demolished and platforms blown up, and the bricks, tiles and stones were shipped back to Hong Kong Island for road building and house construction.
In the early 1860s, the Hong Kong government intended to develop Tsim Sha Tsui as military land, and the villagers originally living in Tsim Sha Tau Village and Tsim Sha Mei Village were therefore arranged to move to Yau Ma Tei.
On 18 March 1860, Lieutenant-General Sir James Hope Grant, as the new commander of the land forces in the invasion of China, ordered British troops to land at the Tsim Sha Tsui promontory on the Kowloon Peninsula without a declaration of war against China.
On 18 March 1860, Lieutenant-General Sir James Hope Grant, Commander of British forces in China and Hong Kong, ordered the 44th Regiment of Foot to land at Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, and unilaterally established the southern tip of the Kowloon Peninsula as a military camp.
The headquarters of the Hong Kong Observatory was built in 1883 on Elgin Hill in Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, at an altitude of about 32 metres and with a site area of about 1.62 hectares.
The transit instrument and the equatorial instrument were both placed on either side of the Observatory's main building, while the thermometer screen or thatched shed was located on the lawn in front of the main building.
On 26 February 1884, a vessel built in 1869 and belonging to the first-generation Marine Police Headquarters caught fire and was completely destroyed; the second-generation Marine Police Headquarters was subsequently established on land at Tsim Sha Tsui.
On 1 January 1885, a time ball was installed by the Observatory at the second-generation Marine Police Headquarters in Tsim Sha Tsui to provide time signals for vessels in the harbour; in 1907 the time ball was moved to the Signal Tower on Signal Hill.
