Junction of Kallang Road, Lavender Street (towards left) and Crawford Street (towards right), with the cylindrical gas holders of City Gas Works (colloquially called "Kallang Gas Works") visible on the top centre of the photograph. Traffic is manually controlled by standing policemen in shorts and knee-high socks and another one who sits in the chequered circular structure in the middle of the junction. Various types and makes of vehicles can be seen, including a British Army Ford CMP (Canadian Military Pattern), jeep with rear-mounted tyre and canvas top and Morris cars. A lorry laden with 'pig baskets' made of rattan cane is visible on the bottom right.
