Where is wishart road

Despite being just a stone's throw from HarbourFront and VivoCity, an air of sleepy tranquillity hangs over the Wishart Road neighbourhood. Few people, apart from regulars, step into the area, home to the likes of Shipmart, a store which sells concoctions such as crocodile oil for the skin, San Laksa Steamboat, ReEvolution bike shop and coffee shop Lakshmi Vilas. It also houses offices, places of worship, landed homes and The Foresta at Mount Faber condominium. This serene area has had more people trickling in though, since it was reported last month that the National Heritage Board NHB had rediscovered a 2m-deep, century-old reservoir off Wishart Road.

Mr Gowtham Manoharan, 25, third-generation owner of Lakshmi Vilas Restaurant at Block 16, Morse Road, said he had been approached by about 15 curious visitors who were hoping to see the mysterious, emerald green body of water for themselves.

Based on a Singapore Harbour Board map, it was the largest of three reservoirs in the area and most likely served residents of a nearby settlement. Later, it was used as a swimming pool. There has been keen public interest in the forgotten reservoir - an NHB documentary on it has got almost 60, views since its launch on Sept The board will also be conducting eight tours of the area on Oct 18 and But some, such as architect Chang Yong Ter, 45, who has a studio in Wishart Road, said the reservoir's surroundings are also worthy of a closer look and study.

For instance, Block 16, Morse Road is one of 16 two-storey blocks that used to stand in the area. They had served as the living quarters for staff of the former Port of Singapore Authority, said Mr Chang. Now, Block 16 is the only one left standing.

He added: "I've heard stories of how it used to be a very lively neighbourhood, with pullcarts selling noodles often going by. Up till the s, Wishart Road was a self-sufficient community, recalled retired marine engine driver Sulaiman Bakar, 69, grandson of the reservoir's caretaker.
