Temple Street, Singapore

Temple Street, Singapore (29 July 2017)


Temple Street is a street in the heart of Chinatown in Singapore. It runs in a single direction from New Bridge Road to South Bridge Road. The liveliest section is at the intersection with the pedestrianized Trengganu Street, which is lined with street stalls.

Temple Street was originally named Almeida Street, after Joaquim d'Almeida. He was the son of Macau-born Dr Sir José d'Almeida Carvalho E Silva (1784-1850), who owned a property at the intersection of Trengganu Street and Temple Street. It was renamed Temple Street in 1908, to avoid confusion with D'Almeida Street which is in the Financial District.

The new name honors the Sri Mariamman Temple, which is located at the junction of Temple Street and South Bridge Road.

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.
