Everything tagged: Line-of-gaps PB

HKBU's The Battle of Hong Kong 1941: A Spatial History Project recently rediscovered a long forgotten HK Island PB, and added it to their map as LPB 19 (see https://digital.lib.hkbu.edu.hk/1941hkbattle/en/map.php and tick 'HK I Pillboxes' under 'Structures').

For this page on Gwulo I've adjusted the position of the marker slightly, moving it to an adjacent open space, based on the PB's probable construction date and a post-war aerial photograph. That area is now Exit B1 of the HK Uni MTR Station.

The pill box on the broad bend below the ridge was passed by all traffic north & south bound (repulse bay road) The dates for construction & demolition are speculative
