Craftsmen, Craftsmanship, and Craftsmanship in Hung Hom - Inheritance and Change

The industrial landscape of Hung Hom in the 1950s, dominated by establishments like the Whampoa Dockyard, Ching Chau Lime Factory, and China Power Station, underwent a significant transformation by the 1980s due to government-led redevelopment. This led to the emergence of upscale residential areas in place of the industrial sites. St. James' Church, established in 1954, has been instrumental in providing social services and missionary work, becoming a notable landmark. The book commemorates the anniversary by chronicling the historical development of Hung Hom and the impactful journey of St. James' Church, showcasing its evolution from aiding various segments of the community to addressing diverse social needs.
