Join me as I meander along Caine Road in Mid-Levels, Hong Kong S.A.R., in the first in a new series, taking a look at some 'before and after' photographs of the area.

In today's episode, I begin at the eastern end of Caine Road at the Zoological Gardens. Here is a list of Buildings I visit or find out about along the way:
-Catholic Cathedral
-Old Italian Convent
-Victoria Gaol
-Douglas Villas
-Jamia Mosque
-Ho Kom-tongHall (Sun Yat Sen Museum)
-Albron Court (Formerly Buxey Lodge)
-Police Married Inspectors Quarters
-Hop Yat Church
-Old Police stations No 8 and 9
-Side streets I delve into ...Ladder St, Shing Wong St, Old Bailey St, Aberdeen St, Rednaxela Terrace, Princes Terrace, Staunton St, Mid-Levels escalator, Shelley St, Caine Lane, Castle Lane and Glenealy.

I use a range of photo sources such as old HK Facebook groups and various websites.

Gwulo.com is a tremendous source of information to find out about Hong Kong's past. David Bellis has done a phenomenal job of bringing people interested in HK history to a central place where they can pose questions and submit photos. Do check it out. https://gwulo.com/

This year I have bought many books which I have found to be invaluable. These include:

Dictionary of Hong Kong Biography edited by May Holdsworth and Christopher Munn.

Crime, Justice and Punishment in Colonial Hong Kong, again by May Holdsworth and Christopher Munn.

Anglo-China Chinese People and British Rule in Hong Kong, 1841 - 1880 by Christopher Munn

A History of Hong Kong by Frank Welsh
