Holland Village - 2005
Peter writes:- "Holland
Village today is so much
different from the 1960s.
Lorong Mambong and
Lorong Liput were two roads
bordering the old 2-storey
shophouses (top right corner
of photo). The shop houses
in turn faced the Chip Bee flats. To the right of the taxi stand
is Taman Warna which was a haven for married British
military families (Jalan Kelabu Asap, Jalan Merah Saga,
Jalan Kuning)"
Holland Village
situated opposite the Chip
Bee Estate.
My thanks to Peter Chan for these following photos of Holland Village and Bukit Timah
Holland Avenue with
Holland Village on the left
and Taman Warna on the
right.
Bukit Timah
Where Beauty World once
stood, which was the main
retail area of Bukit Timah.
Bukit Batok TV Tower is in
the distance.
Another view of where
Beauty World once was. A
new modern shopping centre
has been built near by,
named Beauty World.

The old Bukit Timah Post
Office would have stood
where the trees are with it's
main entrance just over the
foot bridge you can see in the
photo. The Post Office was
to the right of the Halfway
House Night Club and
Restaurant.
The Halfway House stood
where this junction is now.
Another view of the junction
and where the Halfway
House was.
