Steven Ladbrooke

I think they were taken in 68, they are group class photos of my brother (older group) and me (younger one's) at Seletar Secondary. The other one is of us in our scout uniforms, our scout hut was just to the left of the swimming pools on camp. My dad, Corporal Bert Ladbrooke, was working in Supply I think!

Scott Horton

A collection of Singapore photos taken by H. D. Horton between 1967 and 1973. My thanks to his son, Scott Horton for sending these to me. Scott said that he was at the Singapore American School, but also used to play in a band called 'Childhood's End' for dances for St John's and other British schools and also at the naval and air bases.

My father was at RAF Tengah although this was his second tour he was previously at Seletar. My parents actually married in Singapore on the first tour mum flew out alone to literally marry the 'boy next door' quite a big deal way back then I suspect.

Naval Base Housing338 views1969. One of the detached residences (No 101) on Wellington Road allocated to civilian staff posted to Singapore. These overlooked the Dockyard Swimming Pool (now called The Terror Club) and the football pitch. Different from the regular 'Black & Whites' as these had living accommodation on the ground floor and bedrooms upstairs. Note the cowboy style swing doors downstairs and the drop down cane blinds (we called them chiks) upstairs. All to aid ventilation and cooling of the property. Jun 16, 2025

Our bungalow at 12th Mile60 viewsOn arriving in Singapore in 1958 before being allocated an official residence on the Naval Base we found a newly built bungalow to rent (No 12 of about 16 on the site) at 12th Mile on the Sembawang Road. The bungalow had running water but no electricity supply. Lighting, cooking and the fridge all ran on kerosene which was delivered in large metal tins every couple of weeks. Today the bungalow has been redeveloped and stands on Jalan Mata Ayer.Jun 16, 2025

Jack with Pook 56 views1952. Jack Blackburn with 'Pook' in the background. Pook was a Japanese Army Police Dog left behind in the Naval Base when the Japanese surrendered. Jun 16, 2025

Our pet monkey49 views1961. Our pet monkey 'Beppy' going for a walk from Fiji Road with Pete. He could usually be trusted to go off lead but on one occasion escaping his lead from home Beppy managed to find the nearby Tennis Courts where he proceeded to unscrew the huge floodlight bulbs. Most people on the Naval Base around 60-61 will know of 'Beppy' and his antics. Jun 16, 2025
