North Bridge Road was one of the first three streets carved out of jungle and constructed with the help of convict labourers. The North Bridge Road already existed in Lt. Philip Jackson’s Plan of the Town of Singapore in 1823.
Traditional Shophouse @ No.78
The Haji V. Syed Abu Thahir Trading is a traditional shophouse located right at a corner specialize in selling pilgrim items and non-alcoholic perfumes. The shop is packed with all sorts of products that we didn’t know where to start looking. They import and also blend their own perfumes and also supply products such as herbal oil, prayer mats, sandalwood and many other items. It operates as a family business and the current owner took over the shop from his grandfather in the 1980s. I believed that they are perhaps the only shop that specializes in selling these products especially the Ayurveda Herbal Oil. Although the shop was not located in a prominent area, the shop enjoys a small but constant flow of customers. (Perhaps because there were so many of us, making the shop looked very packed haha)
