1960 - apartments and travelling from Canton to Hong Kong

Submitted by RedPanda on Sun, 2021-06-27 23:09

Hi everyone! A few questions. How would someone travel from Canton to Hong Kong in the late 50s-early 60s? Which ports in Canton and HK would have been used? My grandma moved to HK in 1961 aged 20. She worked as an accountant at a factory that made leather gloves - any ideas of where abouts this factory would have been?

Also, does anyone have any pictures/experience of living in an apartment at that time, and what were they like? I know most people here are probably white middle class, but I am interested in seeing apartments that the Chinese would have lived in.

Union Theological Seminary, Canton vs. Canton Christian College

Hello,

I need help in deciphering the difference between what was called the "Union Theological Seminary" in Canton, and the "Canton Christian College", named as such until 1927 when it became Lingnan University.  I have not been able to identify the attached photos that is labelled "Union Theological Seminary, Canton".  Does this institution still exist or did it merge with Canton Christian College?  Your. assistance is welcome.  Thank you!
