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.

The pier is still in operation today, albeit with much less activity.
