This 1982 photograph shows Tanjong Pagar Road, at Wallich Street corner towards Cook Street. There are shophouses along one side of the road. Tanjong Pagar means "cape of stakes" in Malay, and the road is probably named for the kelongs found in the sea near the area. The roads mentioned are in the Tanjong Pagar area.
