A wet, wet day…
Here’s another picture of the Teluk Intan district hospital….taken during a flood.
The Teluk Intan District Hospital
Here are two rare pictures of the Teluk Intan District Hospital. I’m sure some of you can guess which year these were taken 🙂
Tapah Road Station, 1893
The caption says it all, really. Special thanks to “Daerah Batang Padang” – a Facebook page, where we found this rare picture.
When was the last time you took a group photograph at a railway station platform? 🙂
Looking Smart!
Here’s an early 1900s view – of what a policeman wore back then!
Too bad this picture is not in colour…
A 90s view
This picture was taken from a 1990 souvenir magazine. (Do ignore the red arrow 🙂 )
Do you recognise some of the iconic buildings shown here? Can you identify which part of Ipoh this is?
A test of strength
We have here Mrs Southwell, ‘flexing her muscles’ as it were. She must have been really strong, to attempt pushing a Triumph Vitesse Six! Looking on is her husband R. J. Southwell.
This picture was taken back in 1966, during the Triumph Owners’ Club (TOC) Gymkhana.
