Unknown structure at Nam Cheung St & Tai Po Rd junction

Date picture taken (to nearest decade for older photos): 
1950

Does anybody have any idea what the structure near the lower-left corner is?

There was a similar one near my father's shop at the junction of Boundary St. & Cheung Sha Wan Rd. I used to get up there to play. The walls and stairs were all brick, the stairs were really shallow. There were no doors to go inside, so it was unlikely to be a bomb shelter.

Looking for help to identify these photos my grandfather took when he was in Hong Kong with the British Army in the 1950s. I've carried out some research by looking at old photos but with limited success. The photos have also been shared with a number of Facebook forums. I'm really grateful for any help anyone can give as my goal is to build an album showing my grandfather's photos against the modern day photos of our time in Hong Kong.
