Cheeseman Road

Cheeseman Road, Penang (23 September 2012)


Cheeseman Road or Jalan Cheeseman is a minor road in the Green Lane area of George Town, Penang.

Cheeseman Road starts at Green Lane, across from the Penang Free School. From there, it heads west, where it is intersected first by Kennedy Road and then Jalan Sir Hussein and Lengkok Ariff. It then bends to the left to form a junction with Taylor Road. Between the intersections of Jalan Sir Hussein and Lengkok Ariff, Cheeseman Road forms a circus surrounding the playing ground of Cheeseman Green.

Cheeseman Road was created in the late 1920s when the former plantation land made way for housing. The road was named in honour of Harold Ambrose Robinson Cheeseman, who began the scouting movement in Penang at the Penang Free School on 27 March, 1915. The school honours him by naming one of the sports houses after him. The Cheeseman house colour is red.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
