The Cheshire Home in Chung Hom Kok was opened in October 1961, established at the site of the former Royal Artillery camp, granted by the Government of Hong Kong. Patients were accommodated in the headquarters building formerly occupied by the gunners, and staff quarters were situated in the adjacent Nissen huts. The gun site was built between 1938 and 1940; and the guns were put out of action before being abandoned during the Japanese invasion in December 1941.
