Bird's eye views of Singapore's central area  in the sixties…

Clifford Pier…

…just like Fisherman Wharf in San Fran...the old SRC!

The old National Library.. where we used to play at

after school in Coleman street.. and lovers met!

Aquarium...see the 2 crocs laying at the entrance!?

Tiger Balm gardens. Sitting under the tree to admire

the nice/scary statues and to hang out with family

The demolished National Theatre where LKY

lectured Singaporeans, in true paternal style!

Chinatown.. and  the site of the present People's Park

SAF Non-Commissioned Officers (NCO)

club...classic.. & it will disappear soon, too!

This is so nice and peaceful. Beach Road area

(Raffles Hotel & NCO club) before reclamation of sea!

Site of the present Funan Centre. See the fire station

and Fort Canning slopes at the end of street.

The Capitol building and its Magnolia ice cream

parlour

The esplanade then. Known more as Elizabeth Walk before reclamation and the Durians (Theatres on the

Bay)  came up!

John Little, flower the old band stand/clock.. bring

back memories.. in the botanic gardens.

Change Alley and the old Green Bus .. plus the

bridge for cheap stuff.

Fullerton Road and the Old GPO (further down)

before it became the Fullerton Hotel!

The old CK Tang.. good for souvenirs.. where the

new store and hotel now stand.

Collyer Quay above.. before the present Ocean Building came up (and now being demolished again!).

Outram Park (below) before the ugly complex of

buildings came up!

The Singapore River

North Bridge Road

This is  Fitzpatrick's!!!

well…well the old Cold Storage which is now Centrepoint!

In the old days, aunties used to go shopping too....

This was Raffles Place. What happened to the water

fountains? Now we have a Bloomberg screen!

Remember the Jurong Drive-in Cinema?

The 47ft by 110ft screen at the Jurong Drive-In hangs elevated 25 feet above ground, tilted at an angle of six-and-half degrees.  

Queen Elizabeth Walk (showing the present Fullerton Hotel)

Bugis Street. Where the transvestites had a great

time with sailors and some others…
