The Central District reclamation works at the completion stage

The reclamation was carried out between 1890 and 1904 to extend the praya northwards to the present Connaught Road. The original praya was then renamed Des Voeux Road to commemorate the Governor, Sir William Des Voeux. The second building on the right in the background is the Central Market.
