Kellock Road, Singapore (30 July 2017)
Kellock Road is a minor road in
Tanglin, Singapore. It is in Postal District 10. This road comprises two parts. The main part of Kellock Road connects to
River Valley Road in the north, and an offshoot of
Zion Road in the south. A minor part of Kellock Road connects the main part to the main portion of Zion Road. Also branching from Kellock Road is
Zion Close.
Kellock Road was not mentioned in
Singapore Street Names. After I asked for people to provide me information, someone by the name of Dave Appleton directed me to the
PictureSG site, which mentions that the road was named after Captain J.K. Kellock, the Singapore agent for the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company from 1875 to 1877. Thank you Dave Appleton for helping with the information.
