Answers from the LegCo Report of 22 Mar 1889
"The Praya Reclamation Ordinance, 1889" containing the necessary provisions for carrying out a great scheme of reclamation in front of the central and western portions of the Town of Victoria.
What was the project (now called the Chater reclamation)?
Not sure if this has been posted before. I came across this link looking for something else.

Does anyone know anything about the RASC launch HUMBER when it was in Hong Kong? I have learnt online that she was transferred on the 28th September 1949 to 79Coy RASC WT to be stationed at Sham Shui Po, Hong Kong and that in the early 1950s she was redesignated as a FMB in keeping with"Navy Speak" at the base HMS Tamar. She was permanently assigned to the General Officer Commanding (GOC) Hong Kong, Major General G. C. Cruddas and that she was used as a VIP launch on which to entertain distinguished visitors.

Hi all, new member. Arrived in HK September 1977 and what a culture shock but well worth it - had a ball - worked for the HK Mental Health Services for three years and tried to get a new contract but no luck so had to leave in '81.
work wasn't too interesting but the social life was. Had a goodly group of friends mixed marriages, ozzie and chinese, english and chinese, american and chinese etc etc and then the usual group of ex-pats who were either single or non-mixed marriages - the two groups occasionally collided but not much a case of sliding doors!
What's in a name?
Anybody got any suggestions as to where I might find records of Bellios Public School. Need to go back to 1905.
Have had no reply from school website.
