Siniawan - An Old Mining Outpost

[by Peggy Wong of Kuching, Borneo] When I was working for a heritage conservation architect, back in 2008, we documented every building in this old mining outpost, called 'Siniawan', for fear that it will one day be washed away by the king tide floods, which can reach up to the roof top of these shops.  When the overall drainage and flood mitigation improved, the community also started returning to this old town and life started to flow back into its street.  

The sketch on top of this post, done back in 2014, shows the timber shophouses that lined both sides of the old Siniawan street.  When a major Kuching-Bau road was built, by-passing this town, it almost left the townscape untouched, preserving it's timber architecture, mostly constructed of ironwood.  On Friday to Sunday evenings, the town comes alive when the street is closed off, and the whole street becomes a food street, dotted with stalls selling local delicacies and nostalgic memorabilia. 

Narrow alleyways that broke up the 2 stretches of shophouses, now links the carparking area to the old Siniawan streets.  

Siniawan, old town, is now lined with lanterns along the streets and along the 'kaki lima' (shopfront corridor), giving the whole town a festive facelift.
