Thanks to Dave Papworth for these
photographs of what was once known as Bourne Secondary School, taken on
a return visit to Singapore in September 2006. |
Present day students were leaving for the day. |
At the bottom just before the ascent. |
This is looking up from the right hand bend |
A view back down from the top. |
Lower part of the school taken in the quadrangle. |
Looking down at what I think was the science block. |
Kath Upshall who kindly showed me around. |
View looking down from the top, I think the building on
the left was put up post Bourne era |
At the long steps end of the main old building, Kath told
me the building over on the right has now been condemned and cannot be
used |
Same position as previous photo but now looking back
along the front of the main old building. (That’s my wife looking hot) |
An old plague with a date of 1932, presumably the year
the building was put up |
A view along the other side of what I think was the old
science block. Note students have the luxury of air conditioning today! |
A view along one of the external corridors, not quite
sure where |
A view taken from the bend in the steps, this was where
the prefects used to herd you if you were deemed to be pushing in the
queue while waiting for the buses. |
Long range view of those steps, I counted 122 by the
way. |
