Pillbox 033a, Cape D'Aguilar [1939- ]

Date Place completed: 
1939-01-01

Years ago, I came across this structure at the tip of Cape D'Aguilar. If it's a pillbox, it's making no effort to hide itself as it's sticking out like a sore thumb on top of a rocky outcrop. (There's a Panoramio picture of the structure on Google Earth.) Can anyone throw some light on this? Cheers.

Pillbox 126, Tung Yeung Shan [1937- ]

Pillbox 035, Rocky Bay Beach [1939- ]

Date Place completed: 
1939-01-01

This little Pillbox is located in the corner of the small beach behind the Bus depot in Shek O. If you have not been there before there is a little Bar called "The Back Beach Bar" which is a fantastic place to "Re-hydrate" after a walk or a day on the beach. It very reasonably priced with beers  $20/Bottle, right next to the beach, with a great view. Perfect before/after having a Thai meal.

I went for a little walk a couple of weeks ago from Tai Tam to Shek O. Along the way I took a couple of photos of the Pillbox right on the waters edge opposite Red Hill.
