Sembawang Village - Kampung Water Point 1952338 viewsSembawang Village located just outside the Naval Base Main Gate sprung up and prospered due to the presence of the base. The land was originally a mixture of malarial swamp and rubber plantation. In time piped water arrived but like in a lot of Singapore kampungs only by stand pipe. Even in 1958 I witnessed locals getting their water as in this photo. Collecting it in 5 gallon rectangular metal tins that were previously used for the delivery of the kerosene used for lighting & cooking.

Singapore Naval Base Housing - 29 Admiralty Road 1965337 viewsA typical three bedroomed semidetached bungalow built around 1929. Allocated to civilian chargeman and similar grades along with their families on a posting to Singapore. At times. i.e. during the early days of the build of the base and post Japanese occupation when families were not present. These properties were allocated to three or four single men who were usually on an unaccompanied two year posting. During Japanese occupation some of these bungalows were used as workshops.
