Derek

Hello and welcome! I’m a former physics and ICT teacher, originally from the UK. I traded equations for adventure back in 2002. My journey started in the beautiful Seychelles and then took me to Hong Kong, where I eventually retired in 2016. Now, I’ve found a new home in the vibrant metropolis of Bangkok.

Ex-Sham Shui Po Service Reservoir

This is an amazing heritage treasure. Located on Mission Hill in Sham Shui Po, the Ex-Sham Shui Po Service Reservoir was rediscovered in 2020 after being decommissioned for decades. Featuring European-style granite piers and red brick arches imitating Roman civil engineering works, the structure offers us a precious glimpse of Hong Kong’s water supply history over the past 100 years. The Ex-Sham Shui Po Service Reservoir was confirmed as a Grade 1 historic structure by the Antiquities Advisory Board in 2021
