In 2014, with public discussion, it was decided to name the laneway Kwong Sang Walk. The name pays tribute to the history of the Chinese community in Toowoomba, the contemporary multi-cultural aspect of the Region, and a significant family in Toowoomba's history.
Chinese immigrant Hock Sing established an imported Chinese goods store on 552 Ruthven Street in 1883 changing his and the store's name to Kwong Sang in 1901. From the 1920s, Hock Sing's son Tai Mun Sing, commonly known as Diamond Lum, operated the store. The store became a social and religious gathering point for the local Chinese community as it also housed a Chinese altar, which is now located with the Queensland Museum. In 1957, Diamond Lum opened the Cathay Café next to the Kwong Sang Store and this was Toowoomba's first Chinese Café. He later opened the New Cathay Café a little closer to the lane in the mid 1970s and it was closed in 1988.
