I haven't been along yet, but I'll post this first as it's only on for a short time.

It's organised by the Hong Kong Collectors Society, and according to the SCMP:

"Highlights from personal collections, including Chow's stereo-cards, will feature at the society's 20th anniversary exhibition... "

If you've already been to see it, what do they have on show?

Thanks CM. I went along to see the exhibition today, and enjoyed it. There's a good range of different items, not just photos.

Be warned that most of the captions are only in Chinese, so if you're like me and can't read Chinese, you'll just have to enjoy looking at the items on display. However to make up for that I met several of the collectors running the exhibition and they are very friendly, know their stuff, and speak good English.

Worth a visit,

Regards, David

Hi David,

At the exhibition there are quite a few old maps.  I recognized one of them (the 1900 one) had marked a Police Station #3 at the approximate location of the Old Post Office in Queen's Road East.  The Post Office was built back in 1913.  I wonder if there are more information about this Police Station 3.

Thanks & Best Regards,

T

I've made a page at http://gwulo.com/node/19466 to gather any information about it.
