Everything tagged: Pokfulam Reservoir

Just before the gate at the end of Pok Fu Lam Reservoir, next to the Watchman's Cottage, is a partially destroyed bunker along the very side of the road. It seems fairly isolated, but not far from the other previously cited bunkers         ( http://gwulo.com/node/4337 ) and a pillbox (  http://gwulo.com/node/13192  ). It somewhat resembles the bunkers mentioned and possibly a Type 2? splinter proof shelter.

My first thought was...

I could imagine this being an intermittent sentry point between the Batteries of the Peak and Pok Fu Lam Reservoir encampments   (primarily the Forward Dressing Station noted by Dr Solomon Bard) I thought about A. H. Pott's wartime diary.  

Walking down the main road that goes around Pok Fu Lam reservoir, I stumbled accross these structures. There is a large group of them, 4-6, right on roadside. They are all sealed up, but in relatively good condition.

All of them have similar designs, a door and a large loophole-ish window. They all appear as bunkers, with a lip at the rooftop and all slightly dug into the mountainside. Some have stones on the surface for similar camoflage like other pillboxes we have seen around Hong Kong.  As I remember, they all had ventilation structures on the top as well.
