Bunkers (Tai Tam fork Battery)

Places shown in this photo: 

I was walking towards the byewash reservoir up either Mt.Parker Rd or Tai Tam Rd (as it appears on th Gwulo map). I saw these structures on the side of the road going towards the direction of Mt. Parker. There were a cluster of 4 or so bunkers. I also saw a set of stairs running up to the ridge above, unfortunatley, I did'nt investigate up the stairs. 

I cannot find any existing photos of the Battery. So, in short, I do not know if this was the battery or a seperate set of structures. 

Can anyone help?

I walked Stage 7 of the HK trail the other week and noticed this house on the north side of the Red Hill Peninsula. Centamap just has it as "Quarters" but it is near to the Tai Tam Tuk pumping station.

Edit: 80skid has identified it as "Tai Tam Tuk Raw Water Pumping Station Senior Staff Quarters"
