Hi im trying to get some prints. Some of the ones on this site are really lovely and I'd love to get large prints done for my dad. Preferably for christmas. Anyone know where I can get them from? I especially love the Des Voeux Rd pic with all the people queueing up in the rain. I noticed the shop link but there were only 3 tram prints there and I wasnt especially taken by them.<Read more ...>

This is a collection of material based on the life and work of Elizabeth's father, Sir Lindsay Ride. It will be of most interest to people researching wartime Hong Kong, 1942-5, as it includes detailed records of the activity of the British Army Aid Group, the BAAG.
We're getting ready for short family holiday in Singapore.
Does anyone know of any good places there that sell old photos? Either shops, or flea-markets like Hong Kong's Cat Street? If there's a chance, I'll call in to see if they have any of Hong Kong.
Thanks to everyone who attended last night's talk. Here are the photos we looked at. You can click any photo to see a more detailed copy, and notes about that photo.
