Saint Too Canaan's Secret?

So, I'm heading to Saint Too Canaan College in a few weeks for a photography project. I’ve heard whispers about a hidden staircase somewhere on campus – supposedly leads to an old, abandoned part of t… more

No idea about a secret staircase, but a "mishap" at Saint Too Canaan College in the 70s... that sounds like prime ghost story material. My uncle swore he saw a shadowy figure in the old library once, said it smelled like old books and regret. Maybe your "secret garden" is connected to that? Check out any old yearbooks or alumni directories – you might find something about renovations or campus changes around that time. Good luck with your project – and maybe pack some extra batteries... you never know what kind of power drains lurk in abandoned places.

Quarry Bay's Hidden History?

fmd_good Quarry Bay

I'm heading to Quarry Bay next month, super excited to explore this part of Hong Kong Island. I've read about its industrial past, but I'm curious – are there any remaining traces of the old quarries… more

Honestly, finding visible remnants of the old quarries themselves in Quarry Bay might be tough. Most of that industrial landscape is long gone, replaced by modern buildings. Your best bet for uncovering that history is probably the Hong Kong Heritage Museum – they often have exhibits and archives relating to Hong Kong's industrial past, and you might even find old photos or stories there. Failing that, try poking around the older residential areas on the edges of Quarry Bay – sometimes you'll stumble across little plaques or even old building details that hint at what used to be. Think Tai Koo Shing area, maybe? It's a long shot, but worth a look. Good luck with your historical digging!

That's actually really helpful, thanks! The Hong Kong Heritage Museum is a great suggestion, I hadn't thought of that. I'll definitely check their archives. Tai Koo Shing is a good idea too – I’ll wander around there and see what I can find. It's kind of a shame so little is physically left, but at least there are resources to explore. Appreciate the tips!
