Does anybody have any information or photos on Police Station No 9 which was built on Caine Road in 1853? All I know is that it was built on the corner of Caine and Peel on the uphill slope. Many thanks in advance.
Hi, I am currently obtaining permission from FEHD to co-bury my mums ashes in her brothers grave in happy valley.
The problem is getting someone from the list provided by FEHD to carry out the service, co-bury/lay small plaque.
I am coming to hong kong with relevant paperwork on may 6th, and was hoping with permission granted within 5 days i could arrange co--bury on the friday 10th may.
Time is closing in and i have not managed to get a approved stone mason for the job.
Does anyone have any contacts or ideas as to what i could try.
Many thanks
Dear Gwulo community,
I found the below passage in an Al Jazeera article on the decline of indigenous languages in HK. I'm interested to know if anyone knows of a secondary source for the closing of village schools and formalisation of Cantonese in education? Thank you to the users of this forum who have such wide resources! Emma
Before we leave Hong Kong in July I'd like to give one last talk, looking at some of the highlights of running Gwulo since I posted my first page about Hong Kong's history back in 2006.
I'll show some of my favourite photos and tell their tales, and we'll revisit some of the other stories which Gwulo has been involved with that I've found most memorable. I'll also take us on a quick whistle-stop tour of how the website has changed over the years.
We've booked two theatres that have sharp projectors and tiered seating, so that everyone gets a clear view of the photos:
Looking for more info, photos, news articles, etc about this
I was recently shown a newspaper clipping from the Jewish Chronicle, dated March 31, 1961 (p. 22), that said that the HK government planned to clear 108 graves in the Colonial Cemetery in order to allow further burials to take place. The article goes on to say that the list (of who is getting dug up) is available for viewing at the HK Government Office in Trafalgar Square.
Is anyone aware of this? Any ideas where the list would be today?
As the subject states, I'm looking for old photos in that street. Thanks
An article in the German newspaper "Illustrirte Zeitung" (Illustrated magazine), published in Leipzig, from the 17 January 1846. This magazine was similar to the Gentlemen's Magazine from London. Fortunately, the German magazine has been digitised and is therefore available online.
Thank you to Professor Ray Yep and the Hong Kong History Centre for including me in their series of interviews about Hong Kong's history.
