Police Court, Singapore, 1880 - 1889

 Item
Reference Code: GBR/0115/RCS/BAM 10/30

Scope and Contents

277 x 220 mm. Taken from the junction with North Canal Road this view looks south-west along South Bridge Road, with the Magistrates Court in the right foreground and the Central Police Station further down on the opposite side of the road. Both these buildings were among the substantial public works erected in the 1880s, the courts being completed in 1885 and the Police Station opened in 1886. Neither of these buildings now exists, the courts being demolished to make way for the Hong Lim Shopping Centre in 1975, and the Police Station following two years later.
