Dunlop Street, Singapore (30 July 2017)
Dunlop Street is a street in
Singapore' Little India neighbourhood, in
Rochor. Today it is a one-way street connecting
Jalan Besar to
Serangoon Road. In between, it is intersected by Perak Road and
Clive Street, and forms a junction with
Madras Lane.
According to
Singapore Street Names1, Dunlop Street was formerly known as Rangasamy Road before 1870. It is not sure whether the road was renamed after Colonel Samuel Dunlop, the Inspector General of Police in the Straits Settlements; or A.E. Dunlop, an active member of the Race Course Committee. If it were the former, then it was named after the same person as
Dunlop Road in
Penang.
