Johnston's Pier and Collyer Quay

Completed in 1864 and named after its designer George Collyer, Collyer Quay was built on the reclaimed seafront using convict labourers. Before that, the warehouses and godowns at Raffles Place had overlooked the seashore. Johnston's Pier was built earlier, in 1855, and named after Alexander Laurie Johnston, the prominent merchant who came to Singapore in 1820.
