Does anyone remember this Police Station which was just a short walk from Robin Road. It appears to have been at the junction of Bukit Timah Road and Stevens Road. Right after the row of shops which my Dad referred to as, Wayang Satu. I've searched high and low but have yet to find any photo of them. I've come to the conclusion that I just don't possess any.
Does anyone have a photo/photos of the Wayang Satu shops?
All I can remember was the fish monger there had a van, which he filled with seafood and drove around to sell. The dirty fish water would drip everywhere but that didn't stop any of his customers from pushing their way to the front to select the best catch of the day.
Another unforgettable memory were the rickity wooden bridges that connected the shops to the main road.
If anyone has any stories or photos, please do share them :)

I remember Wayang Satu. We would sometime get groceries from the Chinese grocery store, Nam Seng. He also operated a grocer’s shop in a Volkswagen van, that would stop by at 373 & 2 to sell his produce. The Foo housewives would buy odds & ends from him. A good service. I remember too the Indian shop - they sold stationery & I went to buy green crepe paper to make Christmas decorations. Yes, the wooden bridge over the drain to get to the stores were rickety. Wayang Satu was one of the first areas to be flooded during heavy rain. Yes, remember too the police station.
Looks like Stevens Road was not congested then :)
