Gwulo in London: Talk on Saturday, 30th March, 2019

Primary tabs

Submitted by David on Sat, 2019-01-12 18:15

I'll present talk #4 to the Friends of the RASHKB in London at the end of March. Non-members are very welcome to attend.

I'll use the projector to show a selection of old Hong Kong photos from my collection onscreen, and tell their stories. The photos have been scanned at high-resolution so I can zoom in to them during the talk and show you their hidden details.

This talk's photos and stories are grouped around four themes:

  • The ubiquitous shoulder pole
  • A selection of Hong Kong Views from 1902
  • Off the beaten track – less commonly seen parts of Hong Kong
  • Photos of Kowloon

There will be time to answer any questions after the talk.

I hope you'll be able to join us. To reserve your place(s), please follow the instructions below.

Regards, David

Notes:

  1. You can read a review of this talk on pages 8&9 of the RAS HK newsletter for July 2017 if you'd like to get a better idea of what to expect.
  2. This is the first time I'll present this talk outside of Hong Kong, so you don't have to worry about having heard it before!
