Protect Government Hill

Submitted by annelisec on

Hi,

You may or may not know that the Government is planning to sell half of the Central Government Offices at Battery Path and Ice House Street.  I, and the Government Hill Concern Group, want to stop them - and protect this very historic site by changing the zoning to put a cap on building heights to no higher than the existing buildings and designating the whole area a "special historical protected area".

Dear Guys

I stumbled upon your superb website the other day. I live in the uk and have visited HK a few times in the past, mostly for holidays. I belong to a group in the UK called Subterranea Britannica or subbrit. It is a club for people interested in underground and military complexes.

I am due to be in Hong Kong in 2 weeks time, I suddenly thought that there maybe some interesting underground structures. Especially as it was in British hands for so long. I would imagine there are many people who were based or worked in such areas.

Getting to Hong Kong in the 19th Century

I would be most grateful for any advice about travel to HK in the 1850s-60s. I know there were tea clippers and also assume that, as the Colony had a big garrison, there must have been some regular ships (perhaps naval) calling and particular routes taken.

Any information pre 1869 and the opening of the Suez Canal would be appreciated as would a source of passenger lists. Thanks.
