Old days pics to share...

Yes the long aged staircase leads to some broadcasting towers, and there're lots of trails leading to Bukit Batok Park.

 

This is also the place where an unfortunate female jogger was raped and murdered couple of years ago. Interesting read here: http://www.spi.com.sg/spi_files/bukit_bakot_rape/index.htm

Remember there's a huge blue "oil drum"-like structure near the junction of Lavender Road-Kallang Road?

 

It has been demolished for many years. Wonder who owned that building.

 

Got pics for that?

While searching for pics in old days, found many crime stories which we rarely heard these days such as large gang fights between two different gangs..kidnapping..murders ..

 

Even the Shaw tycoon was kidnapped once

Rgd Bukit Batok stairs, yup that's the one and looking at your photos that place hasn't changed a bit!

 

Rgding the Merdeka Bridge lions (think there were 2 of them - one at each end), last I heard ST reported they are now housed somewhere in SAFTI Camp.

[Dumber]

Thanks for the info!

[Pisces69]

Or maybe North Bridge Road or South Bridge Road area?????

This is the Shell Station which was there at Changi Village till only a few years ago when it closed.

[Pisces69]

Tree Planting aka "Gotong Royong".

 

The bus ticket looks familiar same as those stamps. I used to collect stamps when I was a baby so I can still remember them.

[Pisces69]

And the roads not much lane markings.

 

Plus free parking.

====================

 

There were not so many cars then & the roads were quite wide so u can just park along the road & go to the shops & get your stuff. So convenient. But many roads had big open drains beside the roads without any kerb to prevent your tyres from going into the drain. U had to b very careful when parking close to the side.

[Pisces69]

Our earliest bus-stops. U can still see similar designs in MY.

[Pisces69]

Nee Soon Hairpin. I think it was also known as "Devil's Bend".

[Pisces69]

Serangoon Gardens. I used to stay there. This is the row near Captain's Cabin?

 

Fitzpatricks Supermarket. I used to go there with my grandma for her groceries & stuff. 1st place to have those automatic doors. Loved playing with them. I think was later taken over by Cold Storage. Now it's Centrepoint at Orchard Road.

 

Jurong Drive-In. Been there only once. I still preferred the normal cinemas. Maybe cos got air-con & the sound quality was better.

[Pisces69]

I love collecting old pics...searching from websites..friends..all kind of sources... i love antique stuff...but not antique women definitely

====================

 

If u have those old pics, they sud b quite valuable. Take good care of them.

Bugis Street. Those days u can see all the ang mo there who were attracted by many beautiful transvestites who wud sometimes strip & dance around the tables for the ang mo's. Then they wud run when the police came to arrest them.
