RNCWS at Port Island [????- ]

Submitted by wvmarle on Fri, 09/04/2015 - 23:36

The remains of a Royal Navy Coastal Watch Station can be found on Port Island. Amongst others the remains of a pier, a mostly complete concrete path leading from there up the hill, a small concrete water tank and a concrete platform are still there.

Part of the path is seriously overgrown, the end of the path is so overgrown it can not be found. Most of the path is in fairly good condition but sections have been destroyed by nature.

The building is mentioned in Pauline's Post:

[...] the Hankow-Canton Railway Building on Middle Road just off Nathan Road.

and in these comments:

It was built originally as an hotel, was at some stage taken over by the army and used as some sort of headquarters, and eventually housed the Resettlement Department in the 1970s.
