| Abstract | In October 2015, during preparations for a University of Hong Kong undergraduate course, the remarkable structure of the original Saiwan Redoubt and the considerable extent of its subsequent modification since c.1930 was revealed. The modifications are a palimpsest of colonial Hong Kong’s changing defence system and the changing world of military technology in the first half of the 20th century. This unique defensive work – the first infantry Redoubt formally to be planned and
built in Hong Kong – has not only hitherto been ignored, but has suffered from a complete lack of effective heritage protection. |
