It’s a good day for history geeks as the New York Public Library has made 180,000 high-resolution images of their collection available to the public. Among them are old-school Singapore, ranging from the 1800s to early 20th century, with some archives from 1965. These photos include those of the CBD, including places like Cavanaugh Bridge, Finlayson Green and Tanjong Pagar.
