Food Kitchen
This food kitchen was located on Hennessy Rd, Wanchai and was one of four kitchens that provided a single meal each day to the needy. Nine hundred people would be served in this one kitchen alone. On production of food stamps, the hungry would receive a bowl of thick congee consisting of ordinary and red rice, soya beans, meat. liver, potatoes and vegetables. Source: Hong Kong Telegraph, November 1940.
Any guesses
where along Hennessy Rd this was located?
Re: Food Kitchen
I have a faint impression that a contributor on Flickr commented that the site is now the Hennessy Road Government Primary School.
Location sounds right
Looking on map 3-5b in Mapping HK, dated 1939-46, there's an empty plot of land where the school is today, marked 'Reserved for market'.
