Submitted by Charles in Shanghai on Fri, 2019-02-08 15:05

Dear reader,

Molly Odell, featuring in my book to be publised, sent me a link to an interview she gave in January 2019 to Annemarie Evans of Hong Kong Heritage on Radio3 (HK). Molly lived in Shanghai at the time Charles Gesner van der Voort was interned in Chapei Civil Assembly Center (1943-45).

Close-up of pig in Ma Hang squatter area

 

Kirstin's photo is a good one to start the year of the pig. Kirstin lived in Stanley in the late 1970s, and took this photo of one of neighbouring Ma Hang's pig farms. Anyone who lived in Stanley at the time won't forget the terrible smell when the wind was in the wrong direction.

1970s kindergarten - Sandlin?

Submitted by samantha on Sun, 2019-02-03 15:11

Hello, I am wondering if anybody can help me track down the location of the English-speaking kindergarten that I went to in the mid-late 1970s. I'm pretty sure it was called Sandlin, and I lived in the mid-levels but it may have been closer to the harbour or a bit further east. The only thing I really remember about it is the steep staircase which led down to it - which probably doesn't narrow it down much in this area!

Industrial heritage in Hong Kong

Submitted by LizB on Sat, 2019-02-02 17:14

I am putting together a list of past industrial sites (and some present ones) in Hong Kong, with links to the relevant Gwulo pages (or if there is no dedicated Gwulo page for them yet, Public Works Department Annual Reports). There is already a very comprehensive list on the Industrial History of Hong Kong website - my list is just trying to group together relevant Gwulo pages and PWD sources.  For now, I have not included sites such as godowns, wharves, piers, electricity substations, etc as they are so numerous that it would be a time-consuming task.

1960s-1970s Matchbox Collection

Submitted by moddsey on Fri, 2019-01-25 10:01

Time permitting, I will be adding matchbox covers/labels of hotels, bars, restaurants, places of entertainment, airlines, etc that have been collected from the 1960s. The collection captures the establishments that were around at the time, the Wanchai and Tsim Sha Tsui bar scene and more importantly provides an insight into a long lost era. Former hotel, nightclub and bar scene as mentioned here Enjoy!
