After the earlier visits to Punggol East 1,2, I have decided to return on a clear and sunny Sunday afternoon to Punggol, but this time, the western part of Punggol. I was honoured to have nexus accompany me on this shoot. This whole day till evening shoot is split into a 2-part series, where I first visited Matilda House and then a short walk under the Punggol LRT line towards 17th Avenue and then Punggol Marina. Matilda House is located beside Punggol NEL MRT station or Punggol Bus Interchange, across Punggol Walk.
Matilda House is an old abandoned bungalow (marked as Locations 23-26 by Eikin) which is protected as State Property. This house stands on stilts with a huge courtyard, typical of one built during the early days. A google search revealed that this bungalow was built by a Cashin family during 1902 and has been declared a conserved estate in 2000 URA. Another interesting find is Singapore Paranomal Investigators SPI actually found Mr Howard Cashin and gave an in-depth history to the once a lively getaway bungalow and now, a conserved landmark of Punggol.
Here are the pictures to the Matilda House.

Matilda House geographically lies in the Pasir Ris area and not in Punggol. There used to sand quarries in that place in the 1950s thru 1970s. There used to be a hotel in the area called pasir Ris Hotel which is now the Fisherman Wharf at Carpark D area if I am not wrong.
