Jalan Horley, IpohJalan Horley is a street in downtown Ipoh, Perak. It connects Jalan Lim Bo Seng in the north to Jalan Sultan Idris Shah in the south. It forms junctions with Jalan Dass and Jalan Veerasamy.
Jalan Horley was originally known as Horley Street. It was named after the Methodist minister Reverend William Edward Horley, who was instrumental in founding some of the first schools in the country, including the Methodist Girls School, Ipoh (1895), Methodist Girls' School, Kuala Lumpur (1896) Methodist Boys' School, Kuala Lumpur, (originally established as Anglo-Tamil School in 1897, but renamed Methodist Boys' School by Rev. Horley in 1903, once also known as Horley School), Horley Methodist School in Teluk Intan (1898) and Anglo-Chinese School, Sitiawan (1902).
Born in 1870, Horley had arrived in Singapore in 1894 where he taught at the Anglo-Chinese School (ACS), Singapore for 18 months, before transferring to Ipoh, to take over the position vacated by Reverend T.W. Stagg, who was returning to the United States, with a mission of school planting.

About this website
Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
