Pillbox 033a, Cape D'Aguilar [1939- ]

Years ago, I came across this structure at the tip of Cape D'Aguilar. If it's a pillbox, it's making no effort to hide itself as it's sticking out like a sore thumb on top of a rocky outcrop. (There's a Panoramio picture of the structure on Google Earth.) Can anyone throw some light on this? Cheers.

This little Pillbox is located in the corner of the small beach behind the Bus depot in Shek O. If you have not been there before there is a little Bar called "The Back Beach Bar" which is a fantastic place to "Re-hydrate" after a walk or a day on the beach. It very reasonably priced with beers  $20/Bottle, right next to the beach, with a great view. Perfect before/after having a Thai meal.

More details & photos of how it looks today here.

The only mention of the pillbox in Tony Banham's 'Not the slightest chance' is for 10am on 19th December 1941:

Pillbox 063, Central (Old Vehicular Ferry Pier) [1939-????]

Update: Rob has identified this as Pillbox 063]

Although the wartime maps don't show the location of pillbox 061, we're guessing this is where it was.

The red marker shows the approximate location of the northern tip of the western arm of the old vehicular ferry pier. You can see the pillbox on this photo of the ferry pier in the 1950s:

Hi there,

I was walking from Repulse Bay to Deep Water Bay yesterday, taking pictures using my zoom lens.  When I browse over one of those pointing towards Middle Bay I recognize a familiar feature right next to the swimming area boundary.

I'll send the photo in later for verification.
