This 1985 photograph shows Lorong 3 Geylang, at Geylang Road corner. It shows a view of two-storey shophouses at the junction of the two roads. A block of residential flats can be seen to the far right of the photograph. Geylang is believed to be a corruption of kilang, Malay for factory, from the coconut and lemongrass processing factories of the area.
