During my search for Richmond Houses in the 1940's I found this most interesting video via Google on facebook. It shows the life in Hong Kong in about 1938. Although it sounds a bit pathetic I think its a valuable document of that time.
Is there any possibility to upload it?
Please can anyone tell me what the (then) Marquess of Sligo was doing in Hong Kong in the early 1920s as I want to now the circumstances surrounding this person finding a giant salamander at the Botanical Gardens in the early 1920s.
Hi All
I'm doing some private research into the death of Florence Ryder who was murdered in Dec 1966. The crime took place in her apartment on The Peak and at the time she was employed as the secretary to the GM of the HKT co.
I'm very interested in any background about Florence or the company / HK around this time. She's buried in the Hong Kong Cemetery, the HK PRO have records of the Coroner's inquest but there's nothing to suggest the perpetrator was ever brought to justice.
Hi all,
For years(actually from childhood) I can't help but notice that there is a lot of confusion on the geographic divisions of neighbourhoods in Hong Kong. The more research I did, the more I have found there has been a vast amount of manipulation from the Establishment (real estate developers, the government, the MTRC, etc.) on our perception of this space that we live in. It is chaotic and full of contradictions at the moment, and actions should taken to protect our heritage.
I am looking for any inforamtion related to " a primary school ,located adjacent to a Christian Church in Cheung Chau in the 1930's." I believe this was the only school on the island during its time It is located not far from a market. Any related inforamtion will be appreciated .

harryhktc, I saw your comment on another topic and just wanted to follow up with you on it. That previous topic you commented on will likely be deleted.
I too had heard a rumour about a former corporate executive taking plans of his company residence with him upon retirement. I didn't think I would see it mentioned again some 40-years later.
Difficult question, but do you remember where you heard the rumour? I seem to recall reading it in an old issue of the Far Eastern Economic Review, though my memory of that is unclear at best.
The Gwulo website is a forum for displaying and discuss all kinds of historical interest of Hong Kong in times gone by,and
I've come across a reference to 'nightly prayer meetings run by the Plymouth Brethren at the Duddell Street Gospel Hall' in 1941 (Ted Ferguson, Desperate Siege, 30).
Does anyone know anything about 'the Brethren' in pre-war Hong Kong? Or about the Gospel Hall? For example: where exactly was it? Was it used exclusively by the Brethren or was it available to any Evangelical Christian organisation?
