29 Marker Stone [????- ]

Hi there,

I went along the Lady Clementi's Ride earlier today and spotted this stone at a 4-way junction on the eastern side of the Aberdeen Reservoir.  The stone had been lying on it's sides and part of it is burried.  The number 29 was engraved topside, as well as one one of the sides.

Even with proper tools working on this one to confirm the engraving is going to be tricky as it is lying on a slope.  One goof and it will slide or roll down.

 

Best Regards,

T

WWII bunkers in the Aberdeen Reservoir Area [????- ]

The marker shown above is just an approximate location.  The reading on my GPS logger for this location is Lat: 22.258278N Long: 114.168346E  If only we could input Longitude/Latitude information there.........   This bunker is very close to a Pillbox.  There is a concrete slap across the the Lady Clementi's Ride, which I think is for the land line for communication.

The concrete slap across the path:
