The Great Fire of Hong Kong
By Adam Nebbs
This book tells in detail, for the first time ever, the story of one of the most remarkable and exciting events in Hong Kong’s history, which destroyed almost 400 buildings in the centre of the city in 1878.
The story is based on a variety of original first-hand accounts to present the Great Fire exactly as it was seen and recorded by several witnesses, including three well-known writers, and uses contemporary newspaper reports to recreate the trial of the English shopkeeper accused of starting the fire.
The Great Fire of Hong Kong is written and presented in a well-paced, highly readable style that will appeal to both general readers and students of Hong Kong history alike. It includes the only comprehensive early history of the Hong Kong Fire Brigade ever published.
Written by a well-established local writer and former long-time travel columnist for the South China Morning Post.
124 pages with illustrations

An Illustrated History of Transport in Hong Kong from Sedan Chair to Jumbo Jet
Transport: Hong Kong’s lifeblood. From its modest origins, when Hong Kong was still the proverbial ‘barren rock’, the territory’s transport system has evolved to become one of the most iconic, efficient and economical in the world.
From Sedan Chair to Jumbo Jet captures this remarkable story, tracing the development of Hong Kong’s transport system from the mid-19th century, when the principal means of transport were sailing junks, sampans and horses, through the spectacular development of land and maritime transport, to the huge growth in civil aviation after the Second World War.
This book makes fascinating reading and gives a valuable insight into life in Hong Kong over the past 170 years. Sprinkled with amusing anecdotes and richly illustrated throughout, this book is required reading for the amateur train spotter in all of us as well as those who have a serious interest in the evolution of transport systems in Hong Kong.
“Simply a cracking good read…”
