Pillbox 003, Kong Sin Wan / Telegraph Bay [1939-????]

Date Place completed: 
1939-01-01

The wartime map shows this pillbox on the shoreline.

I don't know if there are any traces of the pillbox remaining, but if you have any memories or photos of where it was and how it looked, please leave a comment below.

Pillbox 002, Pok Fu Lam [1939-????]

Date Place completed: 
1939-01-01

The wartime map shows this pillbox was on the seaward side of Pok Fu Lam road, in front of Queen Mary Hospital.

I guess it has been demolished during one of the road widenings, but if you have any memories or photos of where it was and how it looked, please leave a comment below.

I was in Stanley this afternoon, and remembered there should be a pillbox around here. Sure enough you can see the square loopholes just above the shoreline. Here's the view across from Murray House.
