The left over of Tuen Mun Road Improvement project in early 1980s at Tai Lam area

Near the hill top of Tai Lam (2Km easterly away from Brother's Point) a 1.7m pyramid frustum is erected at hill ridge and a hollow iron tubes was found encased inside, I guess this should be the mini pylon foundation post and at one time to be used for supplying electricity for Tuen Mun Road Improvement project in early 1980s. Wellcome for suggestions for identifying this object.

In the 1980s property developers discovered the large mansions with lots of land hidden along the coast stretching out towards Tuen Mun (Castle Peak) and gradually they were redeveloped into low/high rise multiple occupancy sites. This mansion with the green tiled roof situated above Cafeteria Old Beach and Kadoorie Beach was used as a film set and painted blue before it was noisily blown up and set on fire around 1986.
