View all →About This Event
The 1880s – 1940s Hong Kong photos event will be held on 2026-10-07 at 14:00 in The Chapel in Cheltenham, with ticket prices ranging from £6.00 to £12.00.
See rare photos of Hong Kong’s people, the ever-changing city, and the devastating effects of storms & war, then hear their stories.
We’re transported to this distant outpost of the British Empire via rare photos, many over 100 years old. The outstanding detail they capture allows David to zoom in live and show us their minutest details. These details become the clues he’ll use to tell us the photos’ hidden stories.
We’ll see photos taken from the 1880s through to the 1940s - which means chickens will also make an appearance, as key participants in that period's photographic revolution!
Time : 3:00 pm (2:30pm doors open, 3:00pm talk begins, 4:00pm Q&A, then refreshments and time to chat with David and guests.)
Lecture cost : £12 (or £6 for full-time students), to include refreshments after the talk.
Directions : The Eventbrite map shows the venue at the western end of Knapp Road, but The Chapel is at the eastern end, facing the mini-roundabout at the junction with St James' Square.
Parking : Chelt Walk Car Park, GL50 3PR, is a short walk from the venue.
