Accidental Tourist - February 2012 Walking Tour "A Debt to History" www.pmb.sg

I went on a "A Debt to History" walk on Sat 25 Feb 2012; organised by the Preservation of Monuments Board (www.pmb.sg).

Starting from Arts House (former court house, jails, legislative, assembly house, parliament house before finally its present use as an arts centre) along the Singapore River, we meandered past the Cavenagh Bridge (one of the oldest bridges built in 1870 and only suspension bridge in Singapore) and Anderson Bridge (built in 1910) before descending on the monuments along the Esplanade.  

Arts House (former court house, jails, legislative, assembly house, parliament house before finally its present use as an arts centre)

 The Cenotaph (a war memorial commemorating the sacrifices of those who perished during World War I and World War II) and Lim Bo Seng Memorial (dedicated to the memory of Lim Bo Seng, who was a key figure in anti-Japanese activities during World War II and is recognized as a local war hero in Singapore) before ending the walk on the Padang (the venue of many momentous events like national parades and the surrender of the Japanese in WWII). 

It was an excellent walk through history starting from the 1800s. Looking forward to my next walk with them in March. 

Till the next time, onto the world and beyond!
