Here’s another picture from Eugene Lee. This one shows an old building in Taiping. Does anyone recognise it?

Shangri-La Restaurant

I’ve heard of Shangri-La Hotel…but not Shangri-La Restaurant. Has anyone been there? What was their signature dish?

Heritage…abandoned

By felicia|2022-03-16T15:56:37+08:00March 16th, 2022|Categories: Identify Photographs, Natural Heritage|

We thank Eugene Lee for sharing these pictures with us. This is said to be the Royal English School, in Batu Gajah. Probably dating back to 1916. In Eugene’s words, “It’s now left half abandoned and most of the building is left empty. The beams at the porch have cracks in them that need to be rectified“.

We have here a tin of Ovaltine teething rusks. According to our donor (Mr Chan Hoe Cheng), this tin is about 55 years old!

Here’s another photo from Conrad Presgrave-Payne – the grandson of Sir R G Watson. We believe the lady seated extreme right is none other than Lady Watson herself.

This photo was taken at the Ipoh Gymkhana Club, probably back in 1913.

We thank Shyamala Manoharan for this lovely picture. This picture was taken at a birthday party, at the Ashby Road Transit Quarters, in the 1960s. Incidentally, as our donor tells us, this ice cream seller served ice cream at many a party there.

An Interesting Postcard

By felicia|2022-03-07T15:38:21+08:00March 7th, 2022|Categories: Identify Photographs|

The picture shows a Chinese Hawker peddling medicines while sitting cross-legged in the street, in front of the 5 foot way. Behind him there is a clock shop and to his right what would appear to be a hardware shop or general store…

I wonder…was this a common sight back in the day?

Anyone know where Yue Hua School was?
