Seriously, there is a sense of pride and unexplained nostalgia brewing just by looking at these pictures of familiar places long ago – the same space and places where my parents grow up in.
Great World Amusement Park
Goodwood Park Hotel
Raffles Hotel, Palm Court, 1920s
Street scene near Cathay Building
Cathay Building
Junction of High Street and North Bridge Road
Clarke Quay 1970s
Mobile Library outside the very much-missed National Library
anybody miss this skyline?
It’s August. Time to remember Patriotism.
*All pictures taken in the 50s unless stated otherwise.
