Jalan Horley, Ipoh, Perak

Jalan Horley, Ipoh

Jalan 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

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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