Early pictures remind me of London

Yes, the older pictures of Raffles City remind me of some I've seen of London around the same time and even London nowadays too!

Great pictures, thanks for sharing, SMS!

Edit: that wasn't meant to be ironic (didn't see the above two posts), but a genuine vote of thanks.

His link is a photography blog, so he's probably quite interested on this occasion!

He's also local.

Oh yeah. I'm immortalized in one of those photos as well.

Where in the world is Wally?

Is it this one?

Or more appropriately (given your avatar), this one?

I assume that dude is fishing anyway...

Actually I thought I was in this one:

But I think that they have the wrong year. I arrived in Singapore in June of 82 and went to the National Day celebration at the Padang and I took a number of pictures, this being one of them. I think the above photo might be from '81 or 83. as the background behind the bleachers were different.

Thanks SMS - these are a real treat. Hard to believe how unrecognisable Singapore is today from 60 years ago.

Here is an old thread we had a lot of fun with a few years ago (2005-2006). There are several old photos on there that I took a couple of years ago (82-84). We had a good time with this thread. In fact, might be nice to bump it up and add to it. Any takers?

Where is this?
