Lived there 47 years ago - it was a very special place to grow up as a kid - my house has survived - 10 Sussex Gardens, so off this year to revisit, but know it wont be the same.
In 1958 - 1960 I lived with my parents in the corner bungalow in Maida Vale diagonally opposite the golf course. I loved the place so much that my heart stills aches to be there. Many very, very happy memories for me. Has it all gone?
I lived in Sembawang Naval Base for a good part of my childhood life and it was very close to what I see in the video. We lived exactly the same way, neighbors left their doors and gates open and everyone knew each other, played in ditches, climbed trees..looking back I was living in paradise..now the last of it is to be taken away by the Government and the Government keeps wondering how come they cant relate with the people on the ground, I say stop destroying histroy and you will see.
OMG This brings back so many memories! Oh & yes the Singapore Govt has turned (most of it) into an Aerospace hub! Just "saved" a few streets for the future! Have they learned nothing from what they did to Bugis Street? how freaking sad! :- (
