INTRODUCTION: CHINATOWN HERITAGE TRAIL 2014

Hello, we are a team of historians who spent two lovely afternoons exploring the historic district, Chinatown. It was a meaningful journey as we unearth the many streets and forgotten stories of Chinatown.

To conclude our heritage trail in a simple sentence, we would say, every street has it's story. Some street may be short, and some longer than others, but nonetheless, there's always a story behind its name. The stories behind each place we explore, simple amazes us and add to our understanding of the way our ancestors lived in the past. These simple stories also hints to us the larger social and political context of Singapore during the Straits Settlement era.

So join us as we explore the many streets found in Chinatown and dig out long forgotten stories behind them.
