Few month ago I did an entry about this old fish market which is to be demolish to give way to the modern development.

And last week the historical building of the year 1900 will disappear forever.Look like the demolition team is around .

There are a lot's of historical building here but sadly all will disappear.Why and why not they just restore,renovation and beautification of this historical building.They should learn from Melacca historical City & turn its into tourist attraction.

Monochrome Maniacs-The Brooke Dockyard

For more Monochrome,visit the HOME PAGE by Aileni.

Another Kuching heritage Brooke Dockyard soon to be demolished,the plot will be replaced by the new Waterfront Hotel-Said the people.

It almost seems ironic that Brooke Dockyard was formed in the same year as the Titanic sunk, may be an earlier realisation on the Importance of having repair facilities for the white Rajah’s boats.

Records stated that Brooke Dockyard was planned in 1907 at about the same time as the Railway. Excavations commenced in 1907 but was brought to a halt in 1909 when the contractor absconded. Work was finally completed in 1912 and the Dock Declared open by the Ranee Muda on 31st May 1912.

Here is the drawing of new development extend until The Brooke Yard.
