Our pet monkey53 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.

Singapore Naval Base - The Dockyard Club 196438 viewsThe Dockyard Club located on Lagos Circle. I understand the building was built by the Japanese during occupation. It was central for many of the social activities undertaken by the Civilian workmen and their families posted to Singapore Dockyard. As well as bar, small restaurant, stage and dance floor etc it had snooker tables and photographic darkroom.
