Albert and Rochore House, Alexandra Estate, Boon Tiong/Tiong Bahru Road, Cantonment Road Estate, Covent Garden Estate, Duchess Estate (Queenstown), East Coast Road, Ellenborough Market/Tew Chew Street, Geylang Serai, Hillview Estate, Kallang Airport Estate, Kampong Silat Estate, Kim Pong Road, Kim Tian Road, Neo Tiew Estate, Outram Hill, Outram Park, Owen Road (Norfolk/Tasek Utara Estate), Pickering Street Estate, Princess Elizabeth Park, Princess Estate (Queenstown), Punggol Road/Buangkok South Farmway 1, Seletar Estate, Seletar West Farmway 6, Stamford Estate, Taman Jurong, Winstedt Court.

We hope the photographic community can support this small heritage effort and keep the past alive in a 200+ page black and white publication with more than 180+ photographs. Book design - Do Not Design. Photography - Koh Kim Chay

Thanks for the support, petetherock!
Kallang Airport - book features many old blocks in Jln Satu and Jln Dua that were erected in the 1950s as part of the larger estate. Present day Dakota eg. Blk 10 still standing so not featured inside. East Coast - yes the 4 blocks are featured inside with shops all still operating since the late 1960s.
