Just a heads up.
It looks like HKMaps has been upgraded to a new version, which may or may not have affected links we have previously posted here. LInks to the viewer page now return an error, but the new revamped site (some improvements, but many of the previous plans/maps/images we are used to have gone) is still reached via hkmaps.hk.
I mentioned this to Tymon…
I mentioned this to Tymon and the old https://www.hkmaps.hk/viewer.html url now redirects to https://www.hkmaps.hk to make the old link work again.
Old Lot Numbers
Is there a way of discovering where an Inland Lot number mentioned in the cards in the Carl Smith collection, can be matched to an actual address/road in Hong Kong?
I have found a number of cards relevant to various family members which list memorials and land transactions. I would love to know where these Lots actually are.
Thank you

You can search by Lot number on the Govt geomap website (https://www.map.gov.hk/gm/) but whether or not a lot number has changed over the years will limit your ability to match it to a current location.
Perhaps someone else is able to give you a more definitive answer.
re: Old Lot Numbers
@Dasha, if you end up with any Lot numbers you can't locate, you could make a new forum post with the lot numbers (https://gwulo.com/node/add/forum?forum_id=2) to see if any of Gwulo's readers can help identify them. Be sure to include any clues, such as the Carl Smith card number, to help with the search.
