Not too long back in Singapore’s dramatic young history (70s) as an independent city-state, Boat Quay was the epicentre of the aquatic trade of Singapore’s economy. What is now rows of F&Bs were godowns (warehouses) and shop-houses. This river mouth was crowded with bum oats and river-taxis, half-naked baled-bodied men transferring cargos between boats and warehouses. Hence, my special love of this place as a local born of how fortunate I am to witness the unbelievable rapid transformation of Singapore.

This bridge was completed in 1869 and is the oldest bridge across Singapore River to survive in its original form. It was one of the first suspension bridge in this region. This bridge was so low that vessels had to wait for low tide to pass under it. It used to support a tram line until 1910. When the nearby Anderson Bridge was completed, Cavenagh Bridge was converted into a footbridge. it underwent a restoration in 1987 after Singapore River was cleaned up. The old police notice still stands on each end of the bridge.

In 2019, Anderson Bridge, along with Cavenagh Bridge and Elgin Bridge, were collectively gazetted as the 73rd National Monument of Singapore. It is named after Sir john Anderson, Governor of Straits Settlement (1904-1911). It is a beautiful bridge with three steel arches and supporting steel girders. One half of the bridge is now closed to vehicles and it allows pedestrian to take instagrammable photographs of the bridge with the Victoria theatre and Concert Hall in the background. It also allows us to read the inscription on the red granite plaque (imported from Egypt) which is fixed at the end of the central girder. During the Japanese Occupation of Singapore (1942–1945), the severed heads of criminals were hung on Anderson Bridge as a warning to discourage citizens from breaking the law.
