About
Balestier Market was built in 1922 for local farmers to sell their produce. Conserved, it is now the only "rural" market still standing, and has recently been revamped as a 24-hour food centre, remaining an established landmark in the area.
The History
During the Second World War, the market served as a centre for the distribution of food rations in the area.
