Sorry, we don't have any photos with this tag yet.
I have an old Hong Kong map (before 1940) which shows the east end of Kennedy Road joining Queens Road East just next to Wanchai gap Road.
As we know it is now it now joins QRE about a hundred yards further east just below Wah yan College.
When did this move did place and why?
Thanks,

The Port of Hong Kong 1968 edition carries a wealth of information about the port its services and regulations. A total of 97 liner services and principal shipping companies and their agents are listed.
Dear all,
I'm researching Mordaunt Francis Bannerman (22 December 1907 to 7 March 1973), head of car manufacturer Rootes Group in Hong Kong in the late 1960s. He was related by marriage to Sir John Walsham, envoy to China from 1885 to 1892.
Darryl Lundy has an excellent write up on his The Peerage site.

I acquired this on eBay a few years ago. It was printed in August 1945 by the Government Press in Colombo, for servicemen in the British Armed Forces who were heading to Hong Kong.

Hi Everyone,
I am doing a special research on old hotels in Hong Kong, in particular,
the old Victoria Hotel (New Victoria Hotel) which existed in 1888 till the early 1900s
until the building collapsed in 1902(????). In 1898, the New Victoria Hotel had an
address at 9 Queen's Road Central. My question is, with several street renumbering
since that time, where do you think "#9 Queen's Road Central" is located today at QRC?
Thank you for your help. Cheers!

The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology are showing a selection of old photos and maps of Hong Kong. Many of the photos appeared in the recent Steps Through Time exhibition I prepared for The Pottinger Hotel, so this is a second chance to see them. The exhibition also shows historic maps from the HKUST Library Special Collections, and from local private collections.
does anyone know about a medal called <the Grand Order of the Far East> given to people in Submarines of the IV Flotilla 1927-1929.......Defense of Chefoo 1927, Japanese Patrol 1927-1928, Bias Patrol 1927-1928 ??????
my GrandFather (Capt John Buller Glencross) has this and i can find no info
Cheers Jon
I wonder if the description of Murray House near the Peak Trame Station is correct. It has been a long time but to me it lookes very much like the AIA Building at the junction of Stubbs and Queens Road which ws built in the late 1960 while we lived in Jardine Lookout. Forgive me if I am wrong. It has been a long, long time,
