Originally a backwater swamp housing the Ying Fo Lut and Boh Beh Kang kampongs, Queenstown became SingaporeāsĀ first satellite town. It was named in commemoration of Queen Elizabeth IIās coronation in 1953. As this grand old dameĀ of an estate celebrates her 60th anniversary in 2013, the artists from Urban Sketchers Singapore capture the enduringĀ landmarks and scenes of everyday life in the neighbourhood.
Take a trip down memory lane and imagine the late Queenstown cinema and bowling alley in its heyday. Visit Stirling RoadĀ to view Singaporeās first HDB blocks and enjoy the unique personality of each HDB terrace house. Admire the religiousĀ harmony and architectural diversity of Queenstownās churches, temples and mosques. To escape the heat, slip into theĀ cool oasis of Queenstown Community Library, which remains in the middle of winding Margaret Drive.
