2 abandoned places swept into history

Today's plan was to find View Road Hospital and also Tong Watt Road old shohouses.

When I reached Tong Watt Road, what was left was only the steps to the five foot way, shophouses are almost fully demolished with only the front face, which are also covered in netting.  What a disappointment; so I decided to makedo with the conserved surroundings to build up the collection of conserved places.  Managed to get some shots of a colonial style building which is used by a childcare centre, near Oxley Rise.

Next destination was View Road, but after locating the place, it had now been named as "View Lodge" and houes foreign workers; on man...a double disappointment.

I had to eat as it's already 3; with limited choice, Macs settled my dinner before making my way back.  Spotted Seletar West Farmway and decided to take a peek.  The road is exceptionally long, and on the way back, found the dirt road to Seletar Jetty where fishermen lived.  The place is scattered with trash on the mangrove swamp, fishing equipment and huts built on wood.  That reminded me of those olden days where fishermen made their living on their catch.  It's surprising to see that such a trade still lives in today's world.

With the overpowering platoon of commandos, I had to move off soon as they're getting the better of me; furthermore, not adequately attired for the wild trail; soiled my shoes heavily with mangrove mud and decided to RTB.

Later on read online that the place had been under conservation status for decades and since 2008, it had served as a dormitory building...I must have missed capturing them in their lost state by 3 years.  Though the building stands, what had been stagnated since it was vacated had been lost.

On the bright side, the labour today are not too bad as I've also got some shots of the state-owned McCallum dormitories that was at the edge of SGH.
