My Alexandra Heritage Tour [English] (10 April 2021) - Labrador Route
Event Information
About this Event
Do you know where Berlayer Creek is? Do you know if the 6-inch QF gun pounders at Labrador were used to fire at the Japanese troops during World War II?
My Alexandra Heritage Tour explores the rich military history of the Alexandra neighbourhood. The Labrador Route focuses more on colonial military history, namely the installations constructed by the British troops to defend the naval outpost at Keppel Harbour, as well as the natural heritage found along Berlayer Creek and Labrador Park.
Experience Singapore's lush greenery first-hand, and hear harrowing tales of the military skirmishes - big and small - around this part of Singapore!
