The
Mall
Unfolding the past
The Singapore River. It was on its banks that the
foundations for modern Singapore were laid more than
150 years ago. Beginning life as a humble bustling
fishing village, it soon developed into a busy seaport
as trade increased between the East and West.
It wasn't long before industrious stevedores and
hardworking Samsui women filled the streets and
enterprising hawkers packed the alleyways with
their fares. Fishermen,
traders and workers from across Asia and Europe
soon flooded in - adding diversity, colour,
and life into
the thriving and vibrant community.
Discover the present
Lying near the mouth of the Singapore River, the
site of Clarke Quay was the centre of commerce
during the late 19th century. Today, Clarke Quay
is still buzzing with life and activity. The
waterfront godowns now play host to a colourful
kaleidoscope of restaurants, wine bars, entertainment
spots and retail shops. The bustling market atmosphere
of bygone days comes alive amidst the rows of
charming shophouses, pushcarts, and five-foot-way
merchants.
Today, Clarke Quay is a delightful mix of modern
and traditional. A reminder of its rich heritage
is reflected in the vibrantly orchestrated concept.
Their vision - an innovative approach which boldly
reflects the heritage and charm of Clarke Quay.
