 A police report in 1788 mentions a sizable Chinese population settled in the vicinity of Bow Bazaar Street.The sugar mill that Atchew had set up in the patch of land near the town of Budge Budge drew other Chinese migrants and soon a small community had formed around it.By 1783, we know Atchew was dead – a letter shows an East India Company attorney trying to extract money from the executor of his estate.
