熱愛城市探險的 Hugo,進入一間荒廢警署探索。
警署重建於1962年,處於山頂位置,可俯瞰周圍地方。數十年來,它一直是香港警方作為一個監視偷渡活動的前哨和行動基地。2000年停止運作,並一直空置至今。2014年被評為三級歷史建築。
警署是一幢三層高的鋼筋混凝土建築,屬60年代的功能式建築。建築物平面呈U型,內部保留了辦公室,拘留室及洗手間,一些窗門更有鐵柵及防衞窗板。屋頂建有兩個別具特色的圓形守望台,被警署前職員稱為「砲台」。
城市探索的原則是:除拍照外不取一物、不留痕跡和不公開地點。
Hugo, who loves urban exploration, ventures into a deserted police station.
The police station was built in 1962 to replace an earlier one. Strategically located at the top of a small hill overlooking the surrounding area, it was an outpost and operational base of the Hong Kong police to keep watch on illegal immigration for decades. In 2000 the station was closed and the site was deserted. It was rated as Grade III historic building in 2014.
It is an utilitarian building of the 1960s, 3 storeys high concrete beamed split level built to a U-shaped plan. There are offices, cells and toilets with metal grille and window shutters on some of the windows. There are two circular watch towers at the roof level, which are the signature feature. The former staff called them “gun batteries”.
Urban exploration is based on the principles of take nothing except picture, leave no trace and not revealing the location.
