Killiney Road, SingaporeKilliney Road, Singapore (30 July 2017)


Killiney Road is a minor road in the Orchard and River Valley areas. The road is in Postal District 09. It was named after Killiney House, the home of Dr Thomas Oxley, after whom Oxley Road was named.

Killiney is located in Singapore Postal District 09.

Killiney Road is intersection on the east side by Penang Road, Eber Road, Dublin Road and Lloyd Road, and on the west side by Somerset Road, Exeter Road, Devonshire Road and St Thomas Walk.

Killiney House was built in 1842 after Oxley bought the land from the East India Company in 1837. Later in 1847 he built another bigger house on the property, and called it The Pavilion. A Jew named Sir Reuben Manasseh Meyer bought Killiney House in 1890. He then rebuilt it and renamed it Belle Vue. Due to his staying in Oxley Rise, he established the Chesed-El Synagogue there. Belle Vue was demolished in 1982.

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.
