Madras Street is a street in the Little India neighbourhood of Rochor, Singapore. Today it connects Dunlop Street with Dalhousie Lane, and forms a junction with Campbell Lane. The street was named after the city of Chennai, which was formerly known as Madras, and was significant in that a great number of Tamil immigrants in Singapore arrived from there. During the colonial period, the British also had their administrative centre in Madras.
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.
