In the earlier Jackson’s Plan of 1822, this road was known by two names – Church Street for the section running from Beach Road to North Bridge Road, and Selegy Street for the section running from North Bridge Road to Selegie Hill.

Bras Basah Complex is the communal retail space that delivers a curated selection of specialty stores, featuring Singapore’s unique cultural heritage in a charming time capsule set in the heart of the city.
Bras Basah Complex was founded in the beginning of the 1980s. At that time, many book merchants from Bras Basah Road and North Bridge Road as well as merchants in other districts dealing in books and related trades took up shop space in Bras Basah Complex.
In order to settle common problems and to protect their interest as well as to improve communication, the merchants at the Bras Basah Complex founded Bras Basah Complex Shopholders’ Association.
Bras Basah Complex was a diligent host of small-scale Xinyao recitals, book fairs and art exhibitions that were immensely popular with the locals and affirmed its status as the Culture Hub of the district.
