來自紐約的 Dinah 熱愛文化保育及攝影,細味歷史悠久的錦田力榮堂書室。書室又名大書房,位於水頭村85號,錦田鄧氏長房鄧履元後裔建於1835年(清朝道光15年)前,為教育族中子弟的一所私塾。
書室是個富有特色建築及古蹟,隨着錦田區內新學校的成立,於1950年代停止教學。由於日久失修,政府出資200多萬元,於2004年完成修繕工程,並被列為二級歷史建築,開放予市民參觀。
New Yorker Dinah, who loves cultural heritage/conservation and photography, savours the historical Lik Wing Tong Study Hall in Kam Tin. Located at 85 Shui Tau Village, it is also known as the Big Study Hall, and was built by the descendants of Tang Li-yuen, head of the Tang clan in Kam Tin, before 1835 (the 15th year of Emperor Tao Kwong in the Qing Dynasty). It was a private school for the children of the village.
The study hall oozes history with special character. With the establishment of new schools in Kam Tin District, teaching ceased in the 1950s. Owing to a long period of disrepair, the government invested more than $2 million for its restoration, which was completed in 2004. It was then listed as a Grade II historical building and open to the public.
