SEARCH FOR: "Licensing Sessions"
While following the Gwulo trail to the Chardhaven Hotel's liquor licence in 1938, I came across the last meeting of the Liquor Licencing Board on 4 November 1941. The most poignant was a new application for "The Halfway House" 9 Taipo Road. I have not yet found out if Charles Choy was granted a licence ...
For those who may not know, the literal translation of the Chinese for "hotel"- "jau dim (酒店)" is "liquor shop".
