This time last year, local customer Mike W ordered a set of prints from Gwulo. He's kindly sent along this photo to show the finished result, together with this testimonial:

The sign says "Government Pontoon", it was not intended for public use - see also the fence and the barbed wire. 

Two years later, the pier ceased operation due to the next reclamation work.

Details from tourist maps issued in 1980 and 2014, respectively. Quite likely both show the situation one or two years ago before they were printed.

On both Fenwick Pier is shown: in 1980 the site was north-west of the shore then, and north after a smaller reclamation (about 1977-1981) in 2014.

Going up the stairs near the start of the Tai Tam Waterworks Heritage Trail, there is a toilet block near the shelter. Inside are three squat toilets.

Heading back from the toilet block to the road, we were able to get close to the ventilation chimneys of the shelters. Still looking the same as they did in 1941, but with a lot more plant matter on top.
