"The Bluff" on Gough Hill Road The Peak RBL 25 - Circa 1971

The Bluff - RBL 25 [1880-????]

I believe in 1971 when I took this photo that "The Bluff" (RBL 25) was The West German Consulate. It was just up Gough Hill Rd from Lysholt, The Chief Justice's House, and Clavadel where my family lived from 1970 through 1973.

It is now "under" the 28 Gough Hill Road development, completed in 2004, which is described as a "Prestigious development located on the Peak with 6 detached house units" by Carrot Home who were responsible for the Home Automation at that development.

RBL 561 Marker Stone at #7 Peel Rise, Wing On Estate [????- ]

Submitted by tngan on Sat, 2010-06-26 23:32

Hi there,

Spotted this last weekend while going up Peel Rise again.  The marker on the map is by best guess.  It is abit off the road and inside the perimeter fance, slightly down at the top of a shaved slope over a covered garage.  I used quite a few days poking into the GeoInfo Map and hit RBL 561 & Ext a few days ago.

Best Regards,

T

RBL 252 Marker Stone A [????- ]

Submitted by tngan on Wed, 2010-04-07 18:44

Hi there,

This is sort of a first to me.  The stone was half burried, but I was able to uncover it by removing the debris and dirts.  Also this stone isone of those triangular in shape.  Strange enough, that piece of land is also in triangular.  I wonder........ 

 

Best Regards,

RBL 730 Marker Stone at #4-16 Peel Rise [????- ]

Hi there,

Went up the Peel Rise last Sunday again and this time I spotted the RBL 730 marker right on top of the PL3 rain water drainage.  The market on the map is just an approximate location:

RBL 545 Marker Stone at #4 Peel Rise [????- ]

Submitted by tngan on Mon, 2009-08-31 10:14

Hi There,

I spotted this stone within minutes of spotting the 23 Marker Stone alone Peel Rise.  This one is right at the entrance of a group of houses.  According to some street maps it is called Yue Hei Yuen.  The stone was right next to the gate.

Best Regards,
