Ladner<br />
Chinatown<br />
Urban growth has completely<br />
altered the landscape at the west<br />
end <strong>of</strong> 48 th Avenue (Westham<br />
Street). It would be impossible,<br />
without photographs and old<br />
maps, to tell that Ladner’s once<br />
thriving Chinatown lined the<br />
dyke here in the late 1800s. After<br />
much <strong>of</strong> Chinatown burned in<br />
1929, Chung Chuck<br />
bought land inside the<br />
dyke for his potato field.<br />
<strong>The</strong> field and dyke are<br />
now covered by a<br />
condominium and<br />
marina complex.<br />
