Singapore Naval Base Housing - Wellington Road 1998223 viewsView of housing on Wellington Road. Picture taken from the same spot as the photo taken in 1929 showing the houses under construction. In 1998 these houses were leased to the US Navy for their staff and families. It was interesting to learn that 'folklore' amongst the USN families was that these houses were built by the Japanese during occupation for their officers using forced British labour. The logic - each house had a 'Geisha' room at the rear. I guess it did look like a Geisha room but it was actually there for the Amah!

Singapore Naval Base - The Dockyard Club 1964216 viewsThe Dockyard Club located on Lagos Circle. I understand the building was built by the Japanese during occupation.

As well as bar, small restaurant, stage and dance floor etc it had snooker tables and photographic darkroom.
