The structure was built in 1910 as soldiers' quarters for the men of the Royal Artillery who manned the Central and West Batteries. On the night of 18 December 1941, Japanese troops successfully crossed the Lei Yue Mun Channel from Devil's Peak and were engaged in fierce fighting with the defenders in this building. After stubborn resistance, the defenders, overwhelmed by superior numbers and firepower, were forced to retreat.

The GHQ Line (General Headquarters Line) was a 300 mile defence line hurriedly built in the United Kingdom during World War II to contain an expected German invasion after the defeat of Dunkirk in May 1940. There were up to 50 other defence lines along the coast or using natural features such as rivers where possible or trenches and embankments. This pillbox stands on the Oxfordshire bank of the Thames between Whitchurch (Pangbourne) and Goring and was intended to stop, or at least slow down a German invasion moving north from the south coast. The River Cherwell running north from Oxford was another, its defences meant to impede any east/west invasion.
About 28,000 pillboxes and other hardened field fortifications were constructed in England in 1940, about 6,500 of these structures still survive.

The Eastern State Penitentiary, also known as ESP, is a former American prison in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It is located at 2027 Fairmount Avenue between Corinthian Avenue and North 22nd Street in the Fairmount section of the city, and was operational from 1829 until 1971. The penitentiary refined the revolutionary system of separate incarceration first pioneered at the Walnut Street Jail which emphasized principles of reform rather than punishment.
Notorious criminals such as Al Capone and bank robber Willie Sutton were held inside its innovative wagon wheel design. James Bruno (Big Joe) and several male relatives were incarcerated here between 1936-1948 for the alleged murders in the Kelayres Massacre of 1934, before they were pardoned. At its completion, the building was the largest and most expensive public structure ever erected, and quickly became a model for more than 300 prisons worldwide
The prison is currently a U.S. National Historic Landmark, which is open to the public as a museum for tours seven days a week, twelve months a year, 10 am to 5 pm.
