Sorry, we don't have any photos with this tag yet.
There are already quite a few posts on Mount Caroline Cemetery, and I contributed to the early discussions, having found myself in the cemetery during my initial search for traces of my grandfather’s house at the top of Broadwood Road.
Apart from the two MS5.
Several readers have reported seeing marker stones with "BP" and a number on them.
We're curious to know what they were used for. One suggestion is that BP stands for Boundary Post, though it isn't clear what boundary they refer to.
For more information about and and photos of a stone, either click its name in the list, or click its marker on the map. Your are welcome to add another stone - just remember to give it the tag BP marker stone so that it shows up on the list and map below.
The history of the coastal searchlights (aka "Defence Electric Lights" or DELs) at Lye Mun can be hard to follow as their names changed and several were rebuilt. These are the various references I've found to them. The sources are shown in italics, mostly references to documents held at the UK's National Archives.
Greetings! The tunnel alignment between Kowloon Tong and north portal - Shatin in the current map appears to show it remains operational for MTR. There are photos showing it is now used to convey water. Thank you in advance for clearing up my understanding. Regards, Peter
I wonder if anyone would remember a walking path between Robinson Road and Conduit Road. From Conduit Road, one would keep walking down this path with concrete steps, all the way to Robinson Road not far from the Catholic schools mentioned so many times by Gwulo authors.
In the 1950s there was a primary school at Minden Ave, Kowloon, behind Mody Road. Can anyone comment on the site or anyone actually attended that school?
Shortly after waking up this morning I checked email and found a long list of alert emails, telling me the website had stopped working at about 5:30am Hong Kong time.
The hosting company's help desk were unable to repair the problem (a corrupt database), so instead I've asked them to restore a backup copy that was made yesterday.
The good news is that the website is up and running again.
Do we know by which date names and addresses had to be submitted for publication in the Jurors Lists and the Ladies Directories and who to? It would be useful to know how and when this was done in order to track people's movements more precisely.
