1936 British Outpost at Kent Ridge

Nov 01, 2010 01:29


This Outpost was discovered by the people from NUS Raffles Museum of Biodiversity Research in 26th June 2002 during their Ridge reccee. It was mentioned that part of it was damaged during construction works taken place during that time.

This outpost stands at the highest point of then Pasir Panjang Ridge, Point 270. This outpost was an important installation as it overlooked area like Alexandra where the British had a military hospital (Alexandra Hospital), Gillman Barrack, and ammunitions, fuel and food depots. Besides that, Jurong, Bouna Vista can be seen from there too.

Here is my album taken from the Outpost. Over the years, nature had started reclaiming its territories, and quite hard to spot it.
