The school next to Delta West was Delta East School (brown/white uniform). The one at the far end (where Boys Brigade HQ is) was Havelock Primary (grey/white uniform). <br /><br />The upper level of the the 2-storey section near the entrance in the picture was the music room. The lower level was the school library.<br /><br />Those are definitely F&N factory buildings. We used to call them 'ang-sai kum-chwee-long' in Hokkien, translated literally as 'red lion orange water factory'. The former F&N logo was red and has a lion in it and they were famous for their bottled fizzy orange crush drink. :-)ExDeltaWestnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13303109.post-56303999677564540052012-06-24T23:54:33.285+08:002012-06-24T23:54:33.285+08:00Hi Gary, thanks for your comment.

Come to think of it, you are right - F&N was located in nearby River Valley Road then.

From Victor's school building in the photo during the 1960s-19701s, the primary school standard design from the PWD architect is exactly the same. <br /><br />It could be Delta Primary School, Seng Poh Primary School or even Kim Seng Primary School in the Bukit Ho Swee area, but the school field and buildings in the background is not familiar to me. <br /><br />Sorry, I don't have the answer to this quiz.Thimbuktuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04495581875211093357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13303109.post-20675305690831235832010-05-12T20:13:13.810+08:002010-05-12T20:13:13.810+08:00The first one - the 'old beauty' I mean - ...The first one - the 'old beauty' I mean - is a Volkswagon.
