Nagore Road (Jalan Nagor), George Town

Nagore Road, Penang (29 September 2012)


Nagore Road, or Jalan Nagor, is one of the minor roads in George Town. It runs in a single direction from Hutton Lane to Burmah Road, and is intersected somewhere near the middle by Bawasah Road.

Nagore Road is lined with Straits-style double-storey terrace houses. Many of these, originally residential, have been converted into restaurants and food and beverage outlets called Nagore Place and Nagore Square. Those near the junction with Burmah Road still retain their original Shanghai- plaster finishing. The houses have beautiful façades with their walls and five-foot-ways embellished with floral tiles in the Nyonya style.

There are also mews on Nagore Road which, as I write (May 2014) are also undergoing rehabilitation, probably to be turned into a boutique hotel.

Nagore Road was named after Nagore, a town in Nagapattinam District in Tamil Nadu, India. This is because there used to be an Indian Muslim settlement towards Hutton Lane.

In the early 20th century, a synagogue was established here, at the junction with Bawasah Road. The building at 28 Nagore Road is still standing today and is in a fine state of preservation. It now houses a couple of photo imagine businesses.

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.
