Not got enough pictures of one site to merit a full-blown report on one site but these lot make a nice little collection with a common place as a theme:

Shek Lo Colonial house, near Fan Ling. There's a bit of history on this house. It was built in 1925 by Mr Tsui Yan-sou, who was also the founder of Wah Yan College. The two-storey building is a blend of Chinese and Western architectural styles. Despite its colonial-style characteristics it has a traditional Chinese pitched roof supported on wooden purlins and battens and covered by Chinese clay tiles. Other notable features include the courtyard and also the layout of the rooms, which is similar to that of traditional Chinese residences. Located in the middle of the parapet of the roof is a semi-circular brick wall engraved with the characters “Shek Lo”. It has now been left to decay which is a shame as it has some real character. Sadly only took one picture back when I visited in 2003. Revisit definitely in order here.
