I came across many old photos of Singapore which I have never seen. Familiar places such as North Bridge road, Bugis street, Chinatown etc, were barely recognisable. Here are some of the amazing photos. Enjoy!
With effect from 5 August 2009, submissions to the Group will be reviewed. From 9 August 2009, we will be aggregating : 1) older images of Singapore; 2) images that depict less known or more unusual places of Singapore; 3) those that evoke memories of Singapore in the yesteryears; 4) buildings, landscapes and scenes that have disappeared from Singapore; 5) and those that may be disappearing soon. 6) occasional born-digitals that celebrate Singapore We thank all those who have posted their wonderful images to the Group, in time before the launch of the National Library's "I Remember .SG" campaign, on 1 August 2009. There are still other 11 subject groups which you can post to Here Do check out the wonderful renditions in the most active group for architecture Here ------------------------------------------------------------- NEW ! iremembersg/ ----- a National Library Singapore website. As of 2011 - the above link now leads the SMP portal The url was first used in 2009, for a RSI POC called "Good Old Days" which showcased a Visual History of Singapore, by year and location, on a digital map. The site allowed the linking of URLs to the "Map".; with credits made in the "contributor" field. In 2011, the betasite has since been removed and the URL is used for the SMP project. ==================================== http://www.flickr.com/groups/i-remember-sg/ is a 2009 flickr group started to allow flicrkrites to collectively remember Singapore... to celebrate 50 years of nation building ... to remember the birthday of Singapore. After 9 August 2009, we will be hunting for more older images of Singapore; or images that depict less known or more unusual places of Singapore; and images that evokes memories of Singapore in the yesteryears. Occassionally, we may invite newer born-digitals to celebrate certain seasonal festivities in Singapore. It is for sharing photographs, nostalgic stories and memories of Singapore [FROM 1959] [after 9 Aug 2009- the 1959 restriction is lifted] A virtual space to reminise about the good ole days... If you have photos illustrating the yesteryears of Singapore; featuring Singaporeans of all walks of life, places and landscapes of Singapore; do post and share in the pool. Scanned images from older photographic prints/negatives/slides are welcomed, as long as the copyright belongs to you or you are the authorized rightsholder. So are newer born-digital images and lightly post-processed digital photographs. We will be happy to have you share a "sample" representation of your images; featuring unusual places and scenes in Singapore. When posting to this group, please TAG your photos with : a) i-remember-sg b) yyyy [year photograph was taken; or an estimation] eg. 1961 or 1960s c) location [place photograph was taken- if available; be specific ] eg.

Comment update: Typical 1960's roadside stalls, almost certainly Singapore in 1967. The green vegetables on the handlebars of the bicycle at the left of the photo are Petai, a type of bean. Many thanks to "The Liliputan ++" for information provided below. Best seen at full size.

I eventually discovered (after posting) that this is called Raffles Place. Just visible on the right is the John Little shopping centre. Photo taken in 1966.
