I have been trying to look for landmarks and places related to the East India Company in Hong Kong. I have a few ideas and I am wondering if anyone has any more suggestion/addition to the list below?
- Places related to the Parsees community in Hong Kong (though the Parsees were here before the British came, plenty of them were brought here by the East India Company later and also a huge amount of their trade were related to the EIC later on before the monopoly ended)
I'm researching the life of Henry Elgar. (See below for background summary.)
The following advertisment appeared in the Melbourne, Australia newspaper The Argus, Thursday 20 Jan 1853:
Please can any gwulo member tell me if they know of any taxidermists in Hong Kong in the 19th and 20th Centuries and where the records of these taxidermists might be?
I am interested in the occasion when Huey Newton,of the militant Black Panther Party, passed through Hong Kong on his visit to Mao`s china.Do any historians have accounts or can refer me to accounts of this?Is it true he stayed at the very un-Marxist Hong Kong Hilton?
