New on Gwulo: 2022, week 4

A look at the latest additions to Gwulo...
 

General
 

• Readers' memories:
   
  • Growing up in Hong Kong in the 1950s
     
• Readers are looking for any information about:
   
  • Jimmy Tsui and his JNT fashion brand
     
  • The Malaria and Hygiene Unit No 7 in Hong Kong immediately after WW2
     
  • The supply of milk to Hong Kong in the 1950s
     
• This week's upgrade work finalised the new maps. The video below shows the last few tweaks to make it quicker and easier to switch between maps (if the video doesn't show up in your email, please click this link to see it on Youtube). Next I'll work on improvements to the way we store the date a photo was taken.
