Chinatown Heritage Centre


The Chinatown Heritage Centre at 28 Pagoda Street occupies three shophouses in Chinatown, newly restored to house memories and untold stories of Singapore’s early forefathers.
( Note: A few units to the right of Heritage Centre were the Coolie Quarters which occupied the upper floors of two units. There were where hard work labourers, coolies who, after the Opium War, sold themselves as slaves from China, were housed after they came ashore, according to my father's memory. )
