This document provides a nostalgic look back at various landmarks and locations in Singapore's central area from the 1960s before extensive redevelopment. It mentions places like Clifford Pier, the National Library, Tiger Balm Gardens, Chinatown, Beach Road near Raffles Hotel, the Esplanade, Botanic Gardens, Collyer Quay, Outram Park, the Singapore River, North Bridge Road, Raffles Place, and Bugis Street; and describes what they used to look like and the memories associated with them before new buildings and developments transformed the cityscape.
