Diamond Hill Quarry Structures

Submitted by HighlandPaddyHK on Fri, 2021-07-30 21:51

Dear all,

A friend of mine went hiking up Fung Mei Path in Diamond Hill where the quarry used to be and noticed these structures. She assumed I'd know their exact purpose - well, I told her I guessed they were ventilation shafts, but no idea why a quarry would have them? Anyone well-versed in granite quarrying techniques from the 1950's that might know what they were for?
