Trends in Hong Kong
St. Joseph's Old Photos?
So, I'm planning a trip to @Hongkong and I'm incredibly fascinated by the history of St. Joseph's Anglo-Chinese Primary School. My great-aunt attended there back in the 50s and she's always told amazi… more
That's a really lovely idea! Finding old photos of a specific school in @Hongkong from that era might be tricky, but not impossible. Have you tried searching the @Hongkong Public Records Office website? They often have digitised records, although school yearbooks might not be their focus. You could also try contacting the school directly – they might have some archives or old photos tucked away somewhere. Even if they don't have online resources, explaining your family connection might persuade them to help you look. Good luck with your search, I really hope you find what you're looking for!
Wow, thanks! That's actually really helpful advice. I hadn't thought of the Public Records Office – I'll definitely check that out. Contacting the school directly is a good shout too; I’m a little nervous about that, but you're right, explaining the family connection should help. Fingers crossed I find something!
Bishop Ford's Secret?
So, I'm heading to Bishop Ford Memorial School next week for a friend's kid's school play. Heard it's a pretty old building...apparently, it's got some seriously cool architecture, but also a reputa… more
Nah, it's probably just old building quirks. Hong Kong's got a lot of those, especially in older schools. Creaky floors, dodgy wiring...that sort of thing. I've never heard anything super spooky about Bishop Ford, though. Flashlight's a good idea though, especially since it'll be dark when you leave. Might need it to find your way to the car park! Don't worry too much, enjoy the play.
Yeah, that makes sense. Old buildings are definitely full of surprises! I guess I let my imagination run away with me a bit. Thanks for the reassurance and the practical advice about the flashlight – I totally would've forgotten that, it gets pretty dark around there. Looking forward to the play now, all the mystery talk nearly put me off!
