Gilbert Alexander HARRIMAN [1900-1981]

Submitted by jill on Sat, 12/05/2020 - 03:13

The name of Gilbert Harriman is remembered in my family as the trainer of my grandfather, Charles Warren’s racing ponies, known as the “Tile” ponies, during the years 1920-1923. When one of the Tile ponies won the Professional Cup at the Happy Valley Derby, a photographer was hired to commemorate the occasion, snapping Charles Warren and his daughter Evelyn together with Harriman and the magnificent trophy for posterity. The cup has sadly disappeared. After Charles Warren’s death in 1923 the Tile ponies were all sold and Harriman’s connection with our family ceased.

The small Ammar mosque in Happy Valley was re-built after World War II adjacent to the Muslim cemetery to offer Janazah (Funeral) prayers but also accommodated the needs of the five daily prayers as demand grew. It acted as a religious, cultural and communal focus for a number of Hong Kong Muslims in addition to the Shelley Street mosque.

Iron Gate at Hong Kong Cemetery in Happy Valley

Hello! Does anyone know what year the iron gate on Stubbs Road that leads into Hong Kong Cemetery was built? I'm sorry I don't have a picture yet, but I'll try to find the time to take one next week. I have enquired at the Hong Kong Cemetery and the HK Museum of History, but no one knows. There is no date marked on the gate either. I would be so grateful to find out! Thanks in advance!  

Christmas Bazaar at Royal HK regiment HQ around sport rd and morrisson hill?

Submitted by Peter Kwong on Wed, 11/12/2014 - 13:56

When I was a kid living in HK on Queen's Road East close to the army barricade on sports road, I enjoyed very much going each year to the Christmas Bazaar when the militrary facility was open to the public.  I was particularly fond of riding the mules. Today I am trying to write some memoir of my childhood.  I ask if anyone has some photos of the Christmas bazaar so I can show to my friends here in Canada.
