Sembawang Village - Kampung Water Point 1952160 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. The Jacksons158 viewsSingapore Naval Base Housing - The Jacksons. 156 Gibraltar Crescent. Built at the start of the Naval Base construction in 1929 by Sir John Jackson for his European Staff. Due to the ever present shortage of suitable accommodation close to the Naval Base (some families rented in Johor) the 'Jackson' blocks became subdivided into three units and used as temporary accommodation for middle grade Civilian staff and their families before being allocated more permanent accommodation in a larger bungalow.
