Gascoigne Road

One for the older visitors. Gascoigne Road is named after the grandfather of erstwhile University Challenge convener Bamber Gascoigne. He was GOC of British Forces Hong Kong.

"Fingers on the buzzers!"

Lim-peng, thanks for the info. I always enjoy hearing these quirky connections.

Bamber may be interested to read what you've written here, as he has several history-related projects. His latest one lets people search history via a timeline. Here's a timeline for Hong Kong from his Timesearch website.
