Wan Chan Peew – H.M. Naval Base Walkthrough Part 1 | Chronicles of Old Singapore

Might be better to view the video version here: https://youtu.be/RY4-YQ-sUfkWelcome to Chronicles of Old Singapore. So much of the historic Singapore Naval Base has been lost so former Navalite Wan Chan Peew takes us on a walkthrough to document its old places and activities. We started with the gates, then the roads where Asians like him lived, and the docks and other places of work inside the naval dockyard.Part 1 | https://youtu.be/RY4-YQ-sUfk Part 2 | https://youtu.be/MQ22A-iCHW000:00 Introduction02:18 Remembering Naval Base05:11 The Gates12:13 Dockyard (Myngs) Gate & Disused Gates19:01 Nelson House21:26 Canberra, Madras & Delhi Roads26:37 Jalan Kedai28:51 Asian Hospital30:41 The Dockyard35:17 Naval Base Cinema40:34 The Docks44:54 Premier DockWelcome to Chronicles of Old Singapore.
