Hi there,

According to the Kuk's own archives the current site in Leighton Road was inaugurated in 4th March 1932.

Best Regards,

I have here a video clip showing a  Po Leung Kuk inaugural ceremony. Taken by Simon Tse Ka-po in the early 1930's. Not sure if this relates to the present site.

Andrew, thanks for the video.

I don't recognise the location in the video, but the date certainly matches for this location. Were there any other Po Leung Kuk sites around Hong kong at that time?

regards, David

Hi there,

According to the Kuk's own website, before their current HQ they were using space in two wards provided by the Tung Wah Hosptal.

Best Regards,
