Amazing Red Dot Quiz (11) - Guess this Old Road

Guess-1

Guess-2

If you read enough of my blog posts, you'd know unlike most young heritage bloggers, I'm interested in the physical 'geographical heritage' of a place. To me, roads are one kind of landmark that may not disappear entirely after they are expunged, unlike buildings that are demolished, and this is why I find old roads fascinating. However I have not got down to blog about them due to other commitments and so today I shall start ... with a quiz first.

I shall not reveal too many hints as this may be too easy for some people.
  1. The road is behind the foliage in the first photo. If I never say this, some people may just hantum the open field in front ...
  2. The road is near - within walking distance - to MRT.
  3. The road is not in the east of Singapore.
Have fun guessing!

After so many days, only one brave taker. Let me add one interesting clue: the road is still around today, just realigned.

    Hi Icemoon,

    Is it right to assume the second photo is the old road today or somewhere near the old road?

    The first photo makes me think of Bishan Park. But cannot think of any old road there.

    The top of the apartment block in the first photo really reminds me of those old point blocks in boon lay or clementi, or even the singapore poly staff apartments... But I don't remember any big fields there. Hmmmm...
