The Former Ford Factory, also known as the Old Ford Motor Factory and Old Ford Factory depending on sources, is a heritage gallery located along Upper Bukit Timah Road in Bukit Timah, Singapore. It is the place where the British Army forces surrendered to Imperial Japanese Army forces on 15 February 1942 after the Battle of Singapore. The Former Ford Factory had since been gazetted as a National Monument in 2006, and converted into an exhibition gallery and archive named Memories at Old Ford Factory. The permanent exhibition gallery showcases life in Singapore under Japanese wartime rule, and the exhibition is one of the continuation of final battles from Pasir Panjang and at Fort Siloso.
