The pictures of these buildings, taken in the vicinity of College Field, and the McAlister road areas in Sepoy Lines, were taken in the mid-to late 1980’s. The buildings no longer exist. The haunting beauty of mid-morning colours is accompanied by a state of quiet desolation and loneliness, and offers a prelude to their soon-to-be demolished fate. In its place – the Central Express Way. This was how doctors, healthcare workers, and hospital attendants worked and lived in the vicinity of the Singapore General Hospital, a mixture of playing fields and crowed quarters, roofed garages for the doctors’ residence, and the tall rain-trees overlooking the student’s hostel at the King Edward VII Hall.
