City Hall memories go on show
February 21, 2012
The Leisure & Cultural Services Department has launched the City Hall 50th Anniversary Photo Collection Campaign to celebrate the building's Golden Jubilee.
More than 200 photos have been received, showing the cherished memories of people's times at City Hall.
Hong Kong's first purpose-built cultural complex, City Hall has been the backdrop to people's photos for 50 years.
Singer Barbara Fei shared a photo showing her first solo concert at the building in the 1960s, while pianist Nancy Loo showed photos from prize presentations she attended there.
Lo Kwan-pang got married at City Hall marriage registry, Hong Kong's first, in 1973.
"I remember I first dated my wife at City Hall. We went to see a drama together."
Among the photos collected in the campaign, some are family photos. A group photo showing seven brothers and sisters captured Eddie Wu's childhood in 1968.
"With the eldest on the right and the youngest on the left, the photo showed my family of seven boys and girls. I was standing at the middle of the seven."
The photos have been uploaded to the building's anniversary
webpage and
Facebook page. They will be exhibited in the building from March 3 to April 9.
