Oldham Lane is a minor road in downtown Singapore. It is within the Museum Planning Area, in Postal District 9. The lane connects Handy Road to Orchard Road. Traffic flow is in a single direction from the former to the latter.

According to Singapore Street Names¹, Oldham Lane was named after Bishop William Oldham (1854-1937), the first Methodist missionary to arrive in Malaya. He got to Singapore in 1885 and set up the first Methodist Church there. Bishop Oldham also founded the Anglo Chinese School in 1886. The school was originally at 70 Amoy Street. It was later moved to Coleman Street.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
