Hamilton Road

Hamilton Road, George Town (19 May 2013)


Hamilton Road is a road in the Green Lane area. Originally a minor road, Hamilton Road has in the past couple of decades become one of the major roads due to residential developments surrounding it.

Hamilton Road starts at the interchange at Green Lane, where it connects with Batu Lanchang Lane via the Hamilton Road Flyover. It ends at the Free School Road Roundabout. Convent Green Lane and Heng Ee High School are two major schools, each located at either ends of Hamilton Road. Being the main access road in the area, Hamilton Road forms junctions with Hutchings Garden, Pinhorn Road, Van Praagh Road, Green Garden 1 and Green Garden 3.

Hamilton Road itself was named after W. Hamilton, who served as the headmaster of Penang Free School from 1925 to 1926. The school honours him by naming one of the sport houses after him. The Hamilton House has yellow as its house colour. All the roads bordered by Hamilton Road and Free School Road, to the south of Penang Free School, were named after past headmasters of the school.

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
