Not a million miles from the sugar refinery complex, this small site represents the remnants of a Japanese Army base that was probably constructed before or early on in the second world war. Nothing too spectacular - the buildings represent what are probably army billets along with a number of air-raid shelters. Other than my conjecture I can find no hard fast history about this place.

Most of the buildings are roofless ex-army billets:

There's also a water tower..

And yet more single story army buildings:

Then we're on to the air-raid shelters:

And then I came across this building closer to the railway station. Don't think it's ex-army or dating back as far as the second world war. Looks like it may have been a hair-dressers(?) in the past:

Thanks for looking!
 
Looks like a good call on the hairdressers. Those air raid shelters don't look like they'd do much of a job!
