Balestier Road, outside Balestier Boys School was so congested during school peak hours that even with a zebra crossing, a lollipop man had to be engaged to control traffic. The primary schools opposite the Sports Club were - Balestier Boys School, Balestier Girls School, Balestier Mixed School, Towner School, Griffiths School, McNair School (which became McNair centralized workshop), May North School, May South School.<BR/>On the same side of the Sports Club was Rangoon School, Norfolk School, Cambridge School, Owen School, Dorset School, Mee Toh School, St Michael School.<BR/>Further down Balestier Road was Balestier Hill East and West Schools.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7826590137201441127.post-3074824221807215542009-01-13T00:12:00.000+08:002009-01-13T00:12:00.000+08:00I remember catching guppies in the drain at the ed...I remember catching guppies in the drain at the edge of the field alongside Balestier Road.
