Solok York, George Town

York Close (Solok York) (18 May 2013)


Solok York, or York Close, is a minor road in the Residency neighbourhood in George Town, Penang. It connects with York Road on one end, and leads to the Deva Sri Muthu Mariamman & Deva Sada Muniswarar Temple on the other. In between, Solok York also forms a junction, with Lengkok York.

Solok York developed out of country paths in the area that have existed for over a hundred years. In fact, the Indian settlement in the area is believed to have been there as early as the 19th century, if not earlier. When Solok York was created, it simply cuts through the existing settlement. I believe a few houses had to make way for the road, while later houses simple developed along its sides.

Getting there

There are no buses to Solok York, the nearest bus stop being at Jalan Air Itam, some 10-15 minutes away.

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.

To get to know me better, do follow me on Facebook!
