Thanks for this interesting snippet of information, moddsey. As it happens, green and white were the racing colours of my grandfather, C.E. Warren (1872-1923), who used the racing name "Mr Towers". In 1931 my uncle, Leslie Warren had taken over the management of the company and was taking on interior design as a part of his projects. I don't know whether green and white still held special significance for him as a C. E. Warren company hallmark.

Moddsey, how very kind of you to take this photo for me. It’s lovely to know that there are still bits and pieces designed by my family - here a marble floor; there a manhole cover - surviving in present day Hong Kong. The green and white chequered floor looks almost brand new. Thank you!

Dear All,

My name is Maggie Mathieson and I am currently serving as Minister in Kowloon Union Church. 

Last year the AMO announced that our wee church has been declared a monument! Due to the Japanese occupation and other things we are unfortunately very low on archives surrounding our church's story.

I would like to make an appeal to anyone who are members of this group to share any photographs or family stories with us here. 

You can reach me at maggie@kuc.hk or maggienudnik@gmail.com 

Thank you all 

Revd. Maggie Mathieson
