This is a picture of the Singapore river, taken on medium format 127 Ektachrome film which probably dates from the 1960s.
On the road in the background is the premises of Guthrie & Co and there are lorries lined up, loading or unloading goods from the open warehouses behind. In the background to the right, is the clock tower of the Empress Place which locates the picture on the Singapore River, although the modern-day google street view looks very different from the picture shown here.
