McRitchie (sic) Reservoir

McRitchie (sic) Reservoir

Correctly spelled as “MacRitchie”, it’s Singapore’s oldest reservoir, completed in 1868 by impounding water with an earth embankment, and then known as the Impounding Reservoir or Thomson Reservoir.  The Wikipedia entry for this facility is really interesting — it’s not just “a reservoir” — and we encourage you to read it.  Unused old card.  Grade: 1
