I must say one thing about the British - they really knew how to picked picturesque locations for the buildings and homes they built in Singapore from the time they arrived till the time they withdrew. This was the former View Road Hospital - you can peek right across the Causeway where the Japanese invaded Singapore from. Thanks to @nhb_sg for the peek at the recent Battle for Singapore tour which commemorates the Fall of Singapore to the Japanese during World War II @singaporelandauthority "The State property at 10 View Road once served as accommodation for the Naval Base Police Force from the 1950s to the early 1970. It was also known for its time as View Road Hospital, a branch of Woodbridge Hospital (now the Institute of Mental Health) until the early 2000s. Starting out as an unfinished building before the war and a completed one by 1945, recent research has uncovered that the history of the building dates back much further than what is popularly known. This tour of Former View Road Hospital will unveil what is thought of the building’s past dating to WWII and the Japanese defence of Singapore during the Japanese Occupation." #BSG2020 #BattleForSingapore #SLASecretSpaces #SLAStateProperty #WW2 #viewroadhospital #nationalheritageboard #sghistory #sgheritage #PassionMadePossible #Singapore #sgmemory #SingaporeInsiders #wonderlustsingapore #Sgig  #whatissingapore #ExploreSG #ExploreSingapore #instasg #igsg  #sgconservation #lovinsingapore #instagramsg #VisitSingapore #ExploringSingapore #instagramsg #igsingaporefood (at Former View Road Hospital) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9gs5n7narZ/?igshid=wvka5y3cmik0

Escape from Tanglin Barracks

Escape from Tanglin Barracks

Tanglin Village or Dempsey Hill, a spacious and joyous site on the fringes of Singapore’s city centre, has a history that goes back more than a hundred and fifty years. Established as Singapore’s first purpose-built military camp, Tanglin Barracks, it is a place with stories abound. There are quite a few that I find especially intriguing, including one which has as its leading protagonist a…

A #windowintothepast : H-Block, Kitchener Barracks, Royal Engineers’ Dining and Barrack block, which became Block 24 and part of RAF Changi Hospital in 1947. Built to 1920s tropical military barrack specs, it featured ample verandahs and floor to ceiling heights to provide a maximum of cooling and ventilation. #architecture #sgarchitecture #SLASecretSpaces #slastateproperty #singapore #sgmemory (at Old Changi Hospital) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv1G8znBUct/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=154qmxlf8198n
