Photographs of old Hong Kong and the tales they tell

Photostrip for talk #2

I've chosen a selection of photos from my collection to tell these stories. Most of the photos were taken in the early years of the twentieth century, and show a Hong Kong that has long since disappeared. They have been scanned at high-resolution and digitally restored, so we can zoom in to see their hidden details.

The photos and stories are grouped around four themes:

  • A walk around early 20th-century Central
  • Queen's Road from West to East
  • A young girl's daily journey from home on the Peak to school in Kowloon
  • Scenes of construction and destruction

I'll be happy to answer any questions after the talk.

Time: 2:30 p.m., Saturday, 18th March, 2017
Venue: Royal Asiatic Society, 14 Stephenson Way, London NW1 2HD
Cost: £8 per member or guest, to include refreshments
Lunch: A self-paying lunch will be arranged at 12:30 p.m. at Chutneys, 124 Drummond Street, London NW1 2PA (corner of North Gower Street.)  Tel: 020 7388 0604. Please note on the booking form if you wish to join the lunch.
