Bukit Brown Cemetery



Entrance
 The Bukit Brown Cemetery generated a lot of attention as there are plans to build an expressway over it, and part of it have to makeway.   I joined a guided tour to know more about the history.











The cemetery was located between Lornie Road and Mount Pleasant Road,  in a tranquil environment suitable for a walk or jog.   for a walk or jog.

But of course, the main aim was to look at the old graves.













Some of the graves had beautiful ornaments.





We climbed up a small hill and came upon the largest grave in the park.









The last grave that we visited was interesting as it had a guard in front of it.

















Bt Brown Cemetery provides a lot of history to us Singaporeans.  It is sad that part of it would make way for the expressway.  Hopefully, there would be an amicable solution to it.
