Bro, great pics

 

Can show these to our children on how Singapore really looks like in the past

[Mzrmazda3]

Bro, this pic really looks eerie

[Spas]

Thanks dude.

 

How come the pictures are mosaiced? Got non-mosaiced ones or not? Kinda lacking detail on why they weren't public.

[Dumber]

the pics are from spi

 

I believe these pics are too scary or naked body that's why..if you want know more details about HPV, can read up www.spi.com.sg

 

extracted from spi

 

"We tried to verify that the park is free of horror stuff like those wax dummies, and let the rumor dies off itself by uncovering the truth. Specifically we checked the empty cave and its tunnels underneath the pond and the storage house near the 10 Courts of Hell. The undercover cave was so humid and filled with smell of urine. One can easily go in and get lost. Children sometimes go in play hide and see but we do not recommend. The air is so foul that we almost couldn't breath while we were investigating inside the cave. We walked through every corner, no sight of weird stuff."

nobody know the reason or purpose of these hidden statues in the storage room discovered .

Diwan S Randhawa outside the office of the Navjiwan when he was the owner of the only Punjabi weekly - since defunct.

The old Jiwan Sudhar Sabha.

Wonder if it still exists.

i used to work part time at HPV too during the mid 90s! i was supporting the entertainment dept, so i heard many stories from them (but didnt encounter anything myself).

 

if i'm not wrong, some parts behind the HPV is an old abandoned kampung cemetary.. i saw some tombstones before.

The bldg with vertical window and strips looks very familiar....I think its still around. Maybe in Boat Quay area...

 

i think that building is opposite Sim Lim Tower (not Sim Lim Square). Now painted green and selling lightings i think. the spot where the ang mo is standing should be Sim Lim Tower now.

 

correct me if im wrong.

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

Very nice but are these your originals? The National Archives might want to collect your pics (which I swear I have not seen before at their website).

 

Another place where pple interested in old Singapore heritage buildings and conservation is at the Singapore Skyscraper City (SSC) forum : http://www.skyscrapercity.com/forumdisplay.php?f=563

 

I have re-posted some of your wonderful pics there (if you mind that, just shout).

[Dumber]

these are not my original photos..I'm not that old...some are got from websites though..

 

you may post no prob

 

are you into photography? thanks for sharing the forum..will check it out

[Genie47]

Hey....! I say HEY!

 

Good idea for a movie! Instead of Night at the Museum. We have A Night in HPV!

 

Now to find some Ben Stiller or Robin Williams calibre local actors to participated. Maybe rope in old foggies.

[Maverick713]

Thanks. I do take photographs of buildings but not really into photography. Some forumers in SSC and Clubsnap are professional photographers. I have seen really beautiful pics of Singapore buildings and landscape in these forums.

Orchard road, 1968

 

looking at the orchard road pic, it seems like Hotel Intercontinental didn't change their logo for almost 40 years liao. the font used is still the same.

 

old pics are interesting!

[Dumber]

yes..I have seen many webbies displaying very nice pics taken by these pro photographers... great works
