Hi everyone! A few questions. How would someone travel from Canton to Hong Kong in the late 50s-early 60s? Which ports in Canton and HK would have been used? My grandma moved to HK in 1961 aged 20. She worked as an accountant at a factory that made leather gloves - any ideas of where abouts this factory would have been?
Also, does anyone have any pictures/experience of living in an apartment at that time, and what were they like? I know most people here are probably white middle class, but I am interested in seeing apartments that the Chinese would have lived in.
Guest author Klaus Liphard describes how the boundary between the New Territories and China was created in the 1890s.
Introduction
At the end of the 19th century, the Chinese Qing Empire was weak. This was utilized by foreign powers - France, Germany, Russia, and also Great Britain - to force China to lease territories to them.
Inserted photos have the text '{C}' added before and after their captions. It happens every time a page or comment is edited, so after several edits there will be a long string of {C}{C}{C}{C}{C}{C} added.
The current workaround is to turn off the photo's caption (right-click the photo, choose 'Edit atom properties', untick 'Add a caption', click OK.) You can still add text under the photo manually if needed.
In the past few years, the number of social media pages, channels, and websites on Hong Kong History increased significantly.
I recently wrote a blogpost on the boom of history pages in Hong Kong. I hope it helps English-reading historians and history lovers to better understand the public history scene in Hong Kong.
Earlier this week, Dan Ip took listeners to RTHK's 清晨爽利 on a guided trip through the hidden details in two of my favourite photos. (Photos shown below.)

Hello, my grandfather was in the Hong Kong Police before being interned at Stanley Camp with my Grandmother, my Dad and his two brothers when the Japanese invaded Hong Kong.
His name is Harold Woods and I believe his nickname was "Timber" Woods.
He played the clarinet and was in the Hong Kong Police Orchestra or Band and their performances were played on the radio i believe.
I am looking for information on the Royal artillery in Hong Kong in the 1860s and 1870s please. Haven't been able to find much online, or in libraries here in Australia.
my great great grandfather, George William Stainfield, enlisted in England in 1861 and was in Hong Kong with the Royal Artillery by 1868. His address in that year was shown as St Francis Barracks. My searches for St Francis Barracks keep taking me to the world heritage site in Macao - is that correct?
Can anyone advise what the positions of Chief Clerk and Secretary of the Sanitary Board in the Government meant around 1915? are there 'equivalent' posts in current government?
Also, is there any way to identify addresses for people around that time? I've looked in the Jurors lists but can't find the family I'm looking for - JAE Bullock and his children.
Thanks
John Bowden
