Sepia Memories of Old Hock Lam Street

By Ng Siang Hoi, Friends of the Disabled Society

In sepia tones, Old Hock Lam Street emerges from the past, a snapshot of bustling activity in bygone days. The streets teem with life as merchants and traders navigate the cobbled pathways, their voices mingling with the sounds of horse-drawn carriages and bustling crowds. Lanterns cast a warm glow over the scene, illuminating the facades of weathered shophouses adorned with intricate architectural details. Amidst the hustle and bustle, the street retains an air of timeless charm, a testament to its rich history and enduring significance in Singapore's cultural landscape.
