Since its opening in June 1933, Clifford Pier has seen multitudes of immigrants setting foot on Singapore for the first time. Constructed to replace Johnston Pier, it has a simple but unique architecture with an interesting roof comprising concrete arched trusses in a delightful riband form. It was designed by the Public Works Department (then headed by Frank Dorrington Ward) and was named after Sir Hugh Charles Clifford, Governor of the Straits Settlements. The pier is still in operation today, albeit with much less activity.
