Old works building, Tai O, HK, August 2015

Not too sure what this compound and couple of buildings were used for. They sit next to the seaside near the pier by the former Police Station in Tai O, Lantau Island. I think they may be something to do with water supply. The building has been abandoned for some time - this time around I thought I'd give it a bit of a closer look. Again - nothing special architecturally - just fascinating how nature has tried to claw it back.

Can't quite make out what this sign said:

But there's definitely something in there:

Over the fence and we're in:

There's a building in there somewhere!

The windows need a bit of work:

And nature is trying to get in:

...on all fronts:

And trees have made it home too:

The blue door is wearing better than the walls:

Pretty empty on the inside, bar some pretty half-hearted graff:

And the plastering needs a bit of a touch-up:

Who knows what this place used to be:

And what is this old out-board motor doing here?
