Bukit Timah Road would often flood423 viewsBukit Timah Road would often flood, especially when the monsoon rains coincided with the tide coming up from the sea. Enterprising Singaporeans would offer to 'push out' vehicles that became stationary in the floodwater, making sure they pushed your exhaust pipe beneath it, ensuring a handsome tip from grateful motorists!Jan 18, 2014

From Liat Towers looking up Orchard Road414 viewsFrom Liat Towers looking up Orchard Road towards Tanglin. The Thai Embassy, on the right in spacious grounds, is still there and looks exactly the same. The site must be worth billions of dollars! The wide monsoon drains are all underground now.Jan 18, 2014

Looking down Orchard Road towards CK Tang489 viewsLooking down Orchard Road towards CK Tang (on the left), taken from Liat Towers, the stubby block which housed Donald Moore Galleries after it moved from its original premises in Clemenceau Avenue. It's amazing that there are no high-rise buildings along the length of this part of Orchard Road; compare it with today! Orchard Road was two-way traffic in the 1960s, something present-day Singapore children find hard to believe - as, also, that policemen wore short trousers then!Jan 18, 2014

My daughter402 viewsMy daughter demonstrating the state-of-the-art child safety seat of the 60s in Singapore! Made of wicker, it simply hooked over the bench seat in the front of my Standard Vanguard without straps, anchors or anything else!
Maybe some of the others who look at this web site will remember something similar.Jan 18, 2014

Change Alley451 viewsThe grubby entrance to Change Alley from Collyer Quay. Nowadays the Alley, though still bearing the name, is a disappointing air-conditioned thoroughfare with smart shops and offices lining the sides.Jan 18, 2014
