Sorry, we don't have any photos with this tag yet.
I'm try to find a old friend that we have lost contact for years. I believe she still living in Hong Kong, her name is Fanny Chan Man Wah.
Her last work place that I knew is:
United Chinses Plastics Products Co., LTD (year 1978)
If anyone know is person, please contact me at mike@bedfordcomputing.com
I will be so gratefull for the effort to help get a reunion.
Thank you!
I'm looking to place this image, c. 1930, (one half of a stereo pair).
You can see by the enhanced cutout to the right of the old image that it is looking south towards the Peak, on which you can just make out some ghostly imagages of houses.
Hi there,
This is a question about possession point.I want to ask, does anyone know what do the number refer to on the pottinger's map 1842 ?
When I try to locate where possession point was on the map, there is some possible locations like numer 14 and 44 on the map, but I think this will be better to check out the real legend.
I've had another look at the Hong Kong Ladies Directories published in the South China Directory for 1904-1906, which are the only numbers accessible to me in London. In case it helps with matching information given in other lists, here are the only names and numbers given for Caine Road. I’m sure it's common knowledge that there's a separate Peak Directory and a list of Foreign Residents – also an alphabetical record of companies and their staff in the South China Directory.
Good evening David
Could any one help pin point the position of"Palm Villa" refered to in "Not The Slightest Chance"
Thanks again

Tsuen Wan today is a bustling district north of western Kowloon. It was Hong Kong's first satellite town, which is why it is simultaneously in both the New Territories and the urban area.
Originally, however, Tsuen Wan and Kwai Chung were Hakka farming areas.
With help from the Hong Kong Jockey Club, heritage group Hulu Culture has organized a series of activities highlighting the history of the area.
Good morning David.
There has been much written about the Taipa based pirates but I am led to believe that there may have been bases located around Hong Kong.
Can you help out.
All the best.

Glenealy Junior School was in temporary premises between 1982 and 1989 whilst their school in Hornsey Road was rebuilt.
In 1982 they moved to the old Victoria Primary School in Victoria Barracks. My eldest daughter started Form1 there in 1984 and my youngest daughter a year later.
Hi,
I am interested in learning more about life pre-WW2 (1930s- mostly directly before the war) for British citizens living in Hong Kong. Anything and everything living areas, racial issues, social activites, employment, education. I understand that much information was lost but I would like to find what I can. I am doing research for an article.
Thank you
From time to time we struggle to work out a building's location on Caine Road, because the houses were re-numbered several times. eg look at the thread about Buxey Lodge. It quotes a piece of PRO research that says street numbers changed in 1903, and again "around 1934". Looking at some of the maps we have, we can check the numbers as follows:
