That's BS bridge going west. Notice the number on the lamp post. Someone said it's still there but an alphabet has been added to the #.

 

I think the pic was taken in 1982.

This is one massive historical thread! [thumbsup] Looking back, we realise we have come so far, it's almost surreal.

 

I'm from the '60s, so there are many pictures I can associated with through my growing years, though not all... (those are for more "mature" bros/sis out there!) This thread is reference material. Period.

 

Well done! [;)]

 

Brother! Me from that era too! Born in the mid-60s. Grew up in Queenstown. My playground was from havelock Road till Stirling Road

My "playground" was in Cedar Ave until my parents shifted to Jurong. This thread just reminded me of the life and places, and of course cars, of the '60s to '80s era. Damn, it's better than History books! [;)]

Looks more like an adding machine. In the sixties a hand-hled electronic calculator would cost you about $400 at that time price.

If I am not wrong, the tanglin circus with fountain in the middle was in front of the then Marco Polo Hotel.

 

 

I think you can still find such lift at Seven Storey Hotel along Rochor Rd

Correction. That may not be a dedicated an adding machine, though you can see the plus and minus keys. The ones I used had a handle on the right side for turning clockwise and anti clockwise for addition, substraction etc.

**************************

now I remember...the marco polo hotel was demolished in mid to late 90s right? facing the cross junction near Tanglin police station..The hotel still looked pretty new..I wonder why they wanna tear down the building?
