Quarry Camp
Map Ref. Hind 1008 3rd Ed: 365161
Description: The military camp which is in the place locally known as Tan Kwai Tsun, Ping Shan and which includes the following lots in D.D. 124: [...]
One of the lots listed is 2600, which the Geoinfo Map puts at today's Meadowlands development. That's where I've put the marker.
I wonder if this was one of the quarries created when they started building the Ping Shan Aerodrome?
