Hello Peter, Thanks for taking the time to write. We're always interested to learn more about Hong Kong as it used to be, so if you have any memories or photographs of Hong Kong you'd like to share, we'd be happy to give them a home here.
Regards, MrB

Hi Peter,
Fascinating - thanks again for sharing. I'm interested to gather any memories of Hong Kong's wartime air raid shelters. I realise they were built before you were born, but wondered if you heard any stories of them when you were growing up, or whether they were places boys would play in at that time?
Regular contributor Moddsey has sent in some photos in response to your message:
and also recommends the photographs of Fan Ho would be interesting to you.
