Jubilee Battery
There should be 3 gun emplacements in Jubilee battery. I can only find 2 of them. One is inside the University of Chicago Francis and Rose Yuen Campus (gun #2?). The other one is next to the the University, abandoned and overgrown (gun #3?). Does anyone know the location of gun #1?
Re: Jubilee Battery
Hi There,
Have you referred to the map shown in this thread? I believe it already showed all three gun emplacements.

Hi tngan,
Hi tngan,
Thanks for your reply. I found there's a site plan in the campus (an area which is blocked) of the university showing all 3 guns' positions. I finally visited No. 1 and 3 on Wednesday. Feeling quite upset that they are left ruined while No. 2 is well preserved.
