This Victorian image shows what the inside of a filter bed probably looked like in Bowen Road. The sand-bed's containments sit on top of and across the columns.

Hi there,

So they are basically Roman arches type of support, like those found along Bowen Road and part of the Pokfulam Conduits?  I wonder if we still have any of those old filter beds left in town now.

Best Regards,
