Chroy Changvar, Tonle Sap river, Phnom Penh. Further up from the vegetable plots was an area used as a park, which had a football pitch and cows and goats grazing.

Street 106 near corner of Norodom Boulevard. There was a canal/moat from the river between St 106 & 108 where the grass is during the 1890s and early 30s. It encircled the French quarter up Monivong BLVD and ran back to the river. The tower ( since demolished ) was the lookout by the Treasury Bridge spanning the canal, Khmers needed permission to enter the French quarter. Photo taken 2004

Corner St 5 and St 130. This building had been neglected since the mid seventies, like numerous other colonial buildings in the city, renovating often being more costly than a new build. Several historic buildings were allowed to be pulled down. Many have now been renovated including this one with a restaurant on the ground floor. Photo taken 1998
