A historical walk down Bonham Rd and meander through the western Mid-Levels of Hong Kong.

Описание: Third in the PAST and PRESENT series. Today I walk along Bonham Rd taking a look at the old buildings with tales of life in 19th and early 20th century Hong Kong.

Here's a run down:
1. The Old Nethersole Hospital
2. Breezy Path and 2 Park Road
3. St Stephen's Girls College
4. West End Park and the first Muslim Cemetery
5. Euston Castle - Sirmio and Eucliffe
6. Bonham Rd Government School
7. Junction of High St and Bonham Rd
8. Ball's Court
9. Kings College
10. Chinese Rhenish Church
11. Hong Kong University

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/
I highly value his YouTube channel too

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.

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

A History of Hong Kong by Frank Welsh
