DescriptionEN English Description The use of neon signs as an advertising method for shops increased post-war in the 1950s, alongside a boom in incoming migration and setting up of shops and stores. As business owners typically planned for their businesses to be passed on through generations, they were known to ‘invest a lot in getting a sign commissioned’ as it carried a lot of significance and identity. As the economy prospered in the later half of the 20th century, the signs became de rigueur in the urban cityscape – an icon in its own right, and inspiring many cultural references in movies and media. The above neon sign is for the restaurant chain "新英記 Sun Ying Kee", and is located in Causeway Bay. Europeana Specific elements of the Europeana Semantic Elements.
