Exploring Mt. Davis (series 1)---Finding the Ruin WW2 Jubilee Gun BATTERY

Mount Davis is an area surrounding and including the westernmost hill on Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong. Home to mostly luxury residences, Mount Davis was originally settled after the construction of Victoria Road, Hong Kong by prominent Hong Kong families who were unable to live on Peak due to the zoning restriction in Peak District Reservation Ordinance, 1904. It is named after John Francis Davis, who was the 2nd Governor of Hong Kong, from 1844 to 1848. The summit is reached via Mt Davis Path, which comes off Mt Davis Road and Victoria Road...It was an important artillery depot of the British forces since 1911 (proposed in 1900). Five (later three) 9.2-inch guns were installed. It was heavily bombed by Japanese planes during the Battle of Hong Kong. The depot was later demolished by British defenses towards the end of the battle.. Mt. Davis Battery was built in the early 20th century, serving as the headquarters of Western Fire Command responsible for the defense of the Western part of Hong Kong Island. During the mid-1930's two of the 9.2 inch guns were moved to Stanley to strengthen the defense of the Southern side of the Island. The battery was heavily bombarded by the Japanese in December 1941. The remaining armament and equipment were destroyed it's own personnel shortly before the surrender. The battery site now comprises five gun emplacements, Western Fire Command Headquarters, ammunition stores, and accommodation buildings. The Battery has been accorded with a Grade 2 status...
