Rare bricks found among the debris at Pudu Jail demolition site

Site visited on the 23rd Jun 2010 , 6 a.m. , morning.

This brick was found among the debris which carry the name "KIEN HIN". What or who is "KIEN HIN" ?

Again, site re-visited on the 27th Jun 2010, 7.30a.m., morning.

  

Who or what are these two P.W.D. and Y.Y.C., do they belonged to the brick manufacturer ?

Strange is , only few pieces carried these names, almost 99.9% of the debris (bricks) with plain surface without any name.

The day after the rampage 破坏之后...........

The very next day .........

"Rampage is violent or excited behavior that's reckless, uncontrolled or destructive."

" 文 化 遗 产 [wénhuà yíchăn] "

“The city's suburban heritage buildings are as important as those garden villas in the downtown.”

Wu Jiang quotes

“Men can know more than their ancestors did if they start with a knowledge of what their ancestors had already learned….That is why a society can be progressive only if it conserves its traditions.”

留下的记忆

Finally, this historical building is making way for a new and modern concrete structure.
What a sad .....sad.... day !
Pudu Jail, a  historical building , going to be 115 years old ,but is going to be totally demolished after mid-nite.
Since this morning , continually , a numbers of photographers from all circle of life have come to witness this building before it is going to tear down.
A big lost to the heritage conservation of the country.
In order to keep some memories, I have took a lot of photos of this infamous "PUDU JAIL".
