Introduction

The population of Hong Kong in the early 1840s was about 6,000 people, increasing to 125,000 in 1865 (about 2,000 were Americans and Europeans) (source).

Increasing numbers of inhabitants lead to increasing traffic on the roads. As the “Colony of Hongkong and its Dependencies” was a civilized area and had a tendency to set rules for every aspect of life, there obviously was the need for a regulation.

Hello everyone, I am currently working on a project about sedan chairs. Would like to interview people who have experience taking sedan chairs/used to take sedan chairs in the past/ have good knowledge in sedan chairs. If you have info / photos about sedan chairs, please feel free to drop me a comment also.

Zillion thanks! xxxx
