Singapore Bukit Timah Hill is rich with granite and is home to a number of quarries such ar the Dairy Farm Quarry, Hindhede Quarry and Singapore Quarry. As far as more than twenty years ago I use to travel from my working office to Hillview Avenue Lam Soon Factory and Hume Industries, at that time the place was the steel structure open warehouse of Hong Leong Company I have to pass by the Rail Mall along the way but now things had changed with a new flyover at the intersection of Hillview Avenue and Bukit Timah Road. Rail Mall got its name from the overland trains service form Penisular Malaya now Malaysia also a railway bridge was built across Bukit Timah Road and onward toward Tanjong Pagar Station. For those granite quarries ceased to be operational since 1970 and 1980 only the Dairy Farm Quarry are filled up and today is a popular spot for rock climbing.
