Battery Road is a minor road in downtown Singapore. It links Chulia Street on one end with Collyer Quay and Fullerton Road on the other. It is one of the earliest roads south of the Singapore River.

Battery Road was, of course, not named after dry cell batteries, or those you use in your car, but rather to the Fort Fullerton, the defence fortress or battery guarding the entrance to Singapore River. The fort is located on the site presently occupied by The Fullerton Hotel. During the 19th century, Battery Road links Fort Fullerton to Commercial Square, which is today Raffles Place.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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