Looking for pillbox #72

Submitted by David on Thu, 10/02/2008 - 09:00

Monday's walk was one of those 'it's the journey, not the destination' outings. In theory I was going to find the location of pillbox 72, but in any case it was lovely weather, and a good excuse to scramble over some rocks.

The map we've been using shows pillbox 72 on the coastline, somewhere between Jubilee Battery and Kennedy Town. Last weekend we took a ferry to Lamma, so I used the chance to take some photos of this section of the coastline. It's the view as you pass through Sulphur Channel, between HK Island and Green Island.

The coastal pillboxes were numbered anti-clockwise around HK island, from 1 to 72, so this was the one with the highest number.

The map is not very clear, so the location is only an estimate. If it is still there, it should be visible from the ferry to Lamma - I'll take a look next time I head out that way.

If you have any memories or photos of how this looked, please leave a comment below.
