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

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 If you are enjoying the content, then you can support the channel by buying me a coffee - https://www.buymeacoffee.com/coastyex... 💪🏼 Do let me know your thoughts in the comment box or drop me an email [email protected]
