Braemar Reservoir - No. 5 Dam

Wed, 01/24/2018 - 20:05

Braemar Reservoir was developed to supply water to the Taikoo Sugar Refining Company Limted. The reservoir has long disappeared but the No. 5 Dam still exists in Choi Sai Woo Park - rusting iron pipes and an imposing gateway with the company name and the year 1894 inscribed.

Great find. Did you go in the tunnel? From the aerial photos taken in 1963 there is an water intake tower on the top of the dam directly uphill from the dam. I wonder if any of the tower still survives
