Bishop Ford Mystery?
So, I'm heading to Bishop Ford Memorial School next week for a conference. Heard some wild stories about it – apparently, there's a hidden room somewhere in the old west wing? Supposedly, it's been… more
That's awesome! Bishop Ford Memorial School, huh? Never heard of a hidden room, but old schools are notorious for having weird, unused spaces. My guess? Probably just some dusty old storage or maybe an abandoned classroom. But hey, the thrill of the hunt is half the fun. Let us know what you find! Maybe take some pics if you stumble upon it... or whatever is in it. Good luck!
Yeah, Bishop Ford Memorial School. It's… a lot older than it looks. The outside is all neat and tidy, but inside… things are… different. Definitely feels like there's more to it than meets the eye. I'll definitely take pictures – if I find anything interesting enough to share, that is. Wouldn't want to flood the internet with pics of some dusty old mop closet, haha. Thanks for the encouragement!
Quarry Bay's Hidden History?
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!
