Pillbox 060, VRC Steps
Submitted by mrb on Mon, 2008-11-10 21:31. Tags: pillbox | pillbox 060Thanks 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.
Pillbox near Wanchai Gap
Submitted by mrb on Mon, 2008-11-03 12:05. Tags: pillboxTim 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.

This appears to be one of those waterworks stone markers to me.
Pillbox 014, Brick Hill / Deepwater bay

Walking along Mills & Chung path I thought I could see a pillbox in the distance.
But when I walked over to take a look it's clear it was something much newer.
I think the pillbox was buried during construction in this area. (Either Ocean Park, or whatever was there before).
