Bonham Street, Singapore (28 July 2017)
Bonham Street is a street in the Downtown Core of Singapore. Today it is reduced to a riverside walkway between UOB Plaza and the Singapore River.
Bonham Street was originally called Tavern Street. It was renamed in 1858 in honour of Sir Samuel George Bonham, who was the Resident Councillor of Singapore in 1831-37, and then the Governor of the Straits Settlements from 1837-1843.
In the 19th century, the trading firm of Katz Brothers had their godown along Chulia Street with its back to Bonham Street. As a result, the local Hokkiens called the street Tuan Katz Thokorh Auboey, meaning "(street) behind Mr Katz's Warehouse".
