The Defences of Macau - Richard Garrett
2024-04-27
Richard Garrett was involved in the planning of the new town of Sha Tin among other projects - but after he retired he enjoyed writing about weaponry and The Peak. In 2010, he went with Annermarie to the cannons of Macau to talk about one-armed governors, revolting Portuguese soldiers (just bring in the troops from Mozambique) and Dutch invaders. Richard died recently so the first half is an interview in Macau when he brought out his book - The Defences of Macau.
Every week, journalist, broadcaster and local historian, Annemarie Evans, explores Hong Kong, digging up many (often forgotten or unknown) aspects of our cultural, architectural, and artistic heritage.
