1960-1970's Guildford Road - Mansfield Road, The Peak

Submitted by old_kid on Sun, 2014-10-19 11:04

Hi Everyone,

This website is great! I grew up in Hong Kong and have lived in Mansfield Road over the 1990s. Wondering are there any photos or photos anyone has taken of the Peak area Guildford road to Mansfield road during 1960s onwards? It is a very peaceful area and I have revisited it after moving to California. There is even a football team that plays in the park every now and then... my eldest son's childhood was that park took him there almost each day and was nice chatting to parents. Am interested in having a look at what it was during that era. <Read more ...>

Submitted by annelisec on Thu, 2014-10-16 01:00

1927 is the last year of these transcriptions from "Cathedral Notes". Data from this page is from the February 1927 through December 1927 issues. (The Jan 1928 newsletter would have the info for Dec 1927.)

Notes on this page: There do not appear to have been any listings for Jun or Jul

Chelang Point and Tungku Island

Submitted by ssuni86 on Wed, 2014-10-15 02:45

I am trying to identify and locate two geographical references referred to in U.S. Army Air Forces after-action reports written in 1945.

The first is Chelang Point, which is apparently on the south China coast. Does anyone know where this is, and what the contemporary name might be?

The second is Tungku Island, said to be in the mouth of the Canton River. Again, does anyone know where this particular island is, and what its contemporary name might be?

I'll be greatly appreciative of any help with this puzzle.

Thanks!
