Inverted siphon no. 2, Pokfulam Conduit [c.1877- ]

Current condition: 
Ruin
Date Place completed: 
c.1877-12-31 (Year, Month, Day are approximate)

Part of the original Pokfulam Conduit, the inverted siphon carried the water across the valley through a pair of cast iron pipes.

The conduit was later extended to cross the stream further inland via a new bridge and the inverted siphon was no longer needed. A pillar that supported the inverted siphon's pipes has survived and can still be seen.
