Rowell Road, Singapore

Rowell Road, Singapore (30 July 2017)


Rowell Road is a minor road in the Little India area of Singapore. It is a one-way road, with traffic going from Serangoon Road to Jalan Besar, in the opposite direction from traffic on Desker Road, which parallels it. Rowell Road forms an intersection with Kampong Kapor Road.

According to Singapore Street Names¹, Rowell Road was named after a surgeon, Dr Thomas Irvine Rowell, who - as would be expected - owned properties in the area. Rowell held several roles in the British colonial government of Singapore, serving among others as Colonel Surgeon, Registrar of Births and Deaths and as President of the Municipality, before retiring in October 1890.

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.
