Central Ordnance Munitions Depot

The Central Ordnance Munitions Depot () was constructed in the late 1930s by British for the World War II to combat the Japanese Invasion as well as to store arms and ammunition for the defence of Hong Kong. The British used "Little Hong Kong", name for the fishing village town of Aberdeen, as a “code name” to refer to the military site and therefore confuse Japanese spies in the local community before the Japanese invasion.〔(Saluting History ( 18 September 2008) )〕
Following a successful proposal made to the Government of Hong Kong for a commercial adaptive reuse of the underground bunkers in 2002, the Central Ordnance Munitions Depot has been renovated to become wine cellars. This revitalisation project won one of the four Awards of Merit of the 2007 UNESCO Asia-Pacific Heritage Awards for Culture Heritage Conservation.〔(UNESCO Bangkok Press release, 16 August 2007 )〕
== History ==
The Central Ordnance Munitions Depot was established in 1937 by the British Royal Engineers in preparation for the Second World War to combat the Japanese Invasion, and served as a secure military facility for ammunition and weapon storage.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Heritage Conservation- An update on Key Initiatives )〕 It was composed of 12 pairs of underground bunkers, a depot headquarters and a sentry box.
The original structures were constructed almost by the British military to serve as an ammunition and weapons storage depot in preparation for World War II. The site was originally known as the Central Ordnance (Munitions) Depot, and included 24 underground Bunkers, of which only 8 remain. Owing to their intended purpose, the Bunkers are located approximately 20 meters below ground with 1-meter thick concrete walls and 12-meter long entrance passages.
