Thank you so much for these videos David, as much as I think I know from the thousands of photographs on your website, these video tutorials really give those final details that I miss. Heading to HK again in January, kind of sad to know that you’re not there anymore. I have 11 days to immerse myself in these old photographs and place them in today’s world.

great stuff, thanks david.

Magnificent work, thank you.

Thank you David :-)

Great work David- many thanks.

Proudly showing memories of your kind's colonisation eh?

A RUclips channel is the way to go David! I think you’ll get a lot of interest by sharing on this platform. For those that don’t know, there is a website by the same name as the channel that has been gathering historical pictures from Hong Kong for years. Please check it out and support the author by purchasing his books. It’s well worth it for anyone interested in the city’s history.

I’m always wondering back in the old days, what technology they had and who instructed them to build those houses on the hill top.

thx for sharing old images of HK

so this must be looking from Kowloon side by the KCR railway station to Hong Kong side but no view of Kellet Island or Jardines Lookout that I remember watching being demolished from Leighton Hill before the Causeway Bay Typhoon shelter was built t- hat we used to pass going to Quarry Bay School in Govt Motor Pool green army lorries

Hi, what a find, it will be amazing to see what the final images look like after scanning. I was wondering if you are going to see about sorting out the damaged areas in the final scans. I have just attended (online) the latest Adobe Max conference, where they showed off a lot of their new AI based tools for Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop. I have looked at these in my latest Adobe apps, and they have a made a great difference to a number of my images. I lived on Stonecutters Island for two year back in the early 70's and will be trying out the AI tools on some of them.

That's amazing! Thank you for showing this to us!

thanks for sharing, Dave....

It's great to see 1909 Hong Kong in such gorgeous details. Look forward to reading about interesting stories in future issues of Gwulo.

David, thank you for sharing all this wonderful history of Hong Kong. Hope you are enjoying your retirement but suspect you are enjoying GWULO more. Keep up the great work.

San Po Kong

Superb video full of historical interest ,thank you for sharing with the wider world

A very nice description of some of the territory of Hong Kong's important features.

Wow 👍🏻👍🏻

Hi from HK. Miss your weekly newsletter about HK~

Greetings from Hong Kong! 😊

It's interesting to note that, even though the Japanese had surrendered, there were holdouts who resisted. British troops, bolstered by Canadians, fought small battles throughout the city to defeat these Japanese troops. This needs to be acknowledged and not ignored or glossed over. Although most Japanese troops were willing to surrender at this point, there were some who wanted to carry on the fight.

Where is this ? ❤

Wonderful presentation ! Thank you so much ❤

Interesting but really sad that the British gave away Hong Kong to the devil and just departed, and add that to what is going in London with Islam taking over, all by design by the few and their insane politics.

Very interesting

wow this is interesting

Thank you very much - wonderful.

Great

So Long, I moved to Hong Kong with Bruce Lee's daughter and Johnny Wong.

Thanks for sharing these historical pictures! I always see those pillboxes, Japanese caves and military stones when I hike along trails around HK Island.

Thanks very much, that's extremely precious

Brilliant! Thank you for showing us the very important history of Hong Kong!

Thank you for uploading this fantastic talk. 😊

Suggest if it the photo belongs to e.g. the decade of 1960-1969, then put it as 1960s. For the photo in year 1960, then put it as 1960-01-01. Otherwise if you have a photo of a definite year in 1960, it will show it as in any year between 60 and 69.

Thanks for this! A great system!

Great!
