On P96 of Tony Banham's 'Not the slightest chance' there's a map of HK's pill boxes. It shows PB45 as due north of Mt Butler, about midway between the mountain and the shoreline. I haven't managed to find it yet.
Does anyone know it's location, and whether anything remains of it still?
Thanks to Rob Weir for locating this pillbox.

Thanks to Rob Weir for locating this pillbox. It was built on the steps of the Victoria Recreation Club (VRC). The VRC was built on the western edge of the reclamation for the Royal Navy's dockyard, and so the steps led down into the waters of Victoria Harbour.
If you have any memories or photos of the old VRC and the pillbox on its steps that you are willing to share, please leave a comment below.
Pillbox 62 was on Connaught Road, in front of the GPO building.
