This ruin is just off the track above the war time cooking stoves, and below Country Parks service buildings, near Mt Parker Rd. But I don't think it's PB45.
My GPS put it at N 22 degrees 16.673 N, 114 degrees 12.517 E <Read more ...>
On P96 of Tony Banham's 'Not the slightest chance' there's a map of HK's pill boxes. It shows PB45 as due north of Mt Butler, about midway between the mountain and the shoreline. I haven't managed to find it yet.
Does anyone know it's location, and whether anything remains of it still? <Read more ...>
Thanks to Rob Weir for locating this pillbox. It was built on the steps of the Victoria Recreation Club (VRC). The VRC was built on the western edge of the reclamation for the Royal Navy's dockyard, and so the steps led down into the waters of Victoria Harbour.
If you have any memories or photos of the old VRC and the pillbox on its steps that you are willing to share, please leave a comment below. <Read more ...>
Tim Ko's 'War Relics in the Green, ISBN: 962 993 295 4' has a section 'Wanchai Gap and Lady Clementi's Ride'. The map on that page shows three pillboxes. T has already added the one by the dam, and the one to the East of the reservoir. Here's the third.
If you walk down Aberdeen Reservoir Road from Wanchai Gap, a short way down a clear trail leads off to the left. The trail goes straight for a short distance, before u-turning back to the left. From memory, the Pillbox is on that bend. <Read more ...>
