When the common toilet blocks were demolished we were relocated to a nearby one room block 13. Address was 557-D. The left photograph by NHB showed the block at the left side. The right photograph showed the activities on the ground level and the nearby Beo Crescent flats which still exist today.
Compared to 281-C, the new unit had its own toilet!!! There were thriving food stalls on the ground level. Nothing changed as the people living there were still poor and had low income. There were gang activities. However, the gangsters seldom disturb you once they know you were living there.
The most popular schools were Bukit Ho Swee Secondary and Tiong Bahru Secondary. However, I had to travel far to attend Tanglin Integrated Secondary Technical School at Tanglin Halt. Every morning I would walk out to take the bus to school. That bus stop is still located at the same place after 30 years ie across the road from Tiong Bahru Plaza.
