AMETHYST BLOCK-2012

PLA Central Barracks, previously HMS Tamar [????- ]

Wandering around the park in front of the new government headquarters last weekend I noticed on a wall at the PLA Headquarters entrance a sign which at a distance I took to say "Amenity Block" but on closer inspection it displays AMETHYST BLOCK (lower part of picture). As this would be named after HMS AMETHYST detained by the communists on the Yangtze in 1949, I wonder if the building's present occupants realise the significence of the name. Its strange its still there so long after the handover in 1997
