Filling Up The Gap

The 2 units of shophouse at Hugh Low Street were caught in fire many years ago. Due to the slowing down commercial activities around this area, the shops were left untouched since then. Recently construction work started at this site to build 2 units of 4-storey building sandwiched between another two 4-storey shophouses, which display typical architecture of 1980's. Let's wait and see how the appearance of these new shops that will fill the gap. Anyway, it's a little sad to see this particular row of shophouse has only few units left as original piece. The scene is farther apart from what it appeared to be since early 20th century.
