Singapore North Bridge Road

By Christina Lau Lay Lian, Mouth and Foot Painting Artists

North Bridge Road, once known as the “Big Horseway”, stretches with quiet authority through one of Singapore’s oldest quarters. Constructed between 1833 and 1835, a distinctive building along this road bears the mark of G.D. Coleman’s early colonial vision, realised through the labour of convicts. Its facade stands out, bright and full of character, with iconic shuttered windows, deep verandahs, and gently arched walkways that echo neoclassical sensibilities.
This is a place where the city’s architectural memory lingers, quietly stitched into the colour and cadence of everyday life.

About

After a life-changing car accident in 2005 that left her with C6 spinal cord injury, Christina Lau discovered new ways to express herself through art. Despite being paralysed from her chest down and the loss of finger movements, she transformed her journey from Prison Officer to artist, demonstrating remarkable resilience. Through her artwork, she continues to share her unique perspective, proving that creativity knows no physical bounds.
