Between 1966 and 1970 I lived in that wonderful place that is Singapore. I spent 2 years in 29 Branksome Road, Jalan Katong and 2 years in 14 Jalan Tari Dolang, Jalan Kayu. Just out of idle curiosity, can anybody tell me are they still standing, or has progress swept them away? chris_mcburney@yahoo.com

Jalan Tari Dulang, Jalan Kayu and Branksome Road (off Tanjong Katong Road) are still there but whether No. 14 and No. 29 are still there I don't know. I used to live in Wilkinson Road (one road away from Branksome Road). I now live in Changi, a 10 minute drive from Changi International Airport. One of these days I will make a recce. (after Christmas) of your former homes to see if they are still there and will email you the news, so don't change your email address.
An expressway has been cut across Jalan Kayu called the Tampines Expressway -- just before Piccadilly Circus which is now inside the Jalan Kayu Camp and out-of-bounds to us civilians. As for Branksome Road, many old houses have been pulled down and new ones built to replace them. My old place at Wilkinson Road was pulled down and THREE 2 1/2-storeyed houses built.
Expect an email from me some time in January.

Branksome is still very much the same but you may be shocked by the complete change of Jln Doland/Jln Kayu area. Pig farms are gone, Woodbridge Hostpital relocated and most the area is now a developed hosuing estate - Sengkang.

Yes, it is very much there. No, that place was never developed and still remains the same. It's Dulang, not Dolang.
