Downing Street, George Town
Downing Street is a minor side street in the city of George Town in Penang, Malaysia. It is one of the few places worldwide that share an identical name with London's famous Downing Street, where the official residence of the British prime minister is located. Created in the late 19th century, the Straits Settlements government built an administrative complex along the street. Thus, as is the case in London, Downing Street in George Town was once the seat of government in Penang. History Originally, the area where Downing Street now runs through does not exist; the sea reached all the way up to Beach Street, making the latter the eastern coastal road of George Town. This particular area was created through a massive land reclamation project in the 1880s, which also created Weld Quay and expanded the harbour facilities required for the booming entrepôt trade at the time. Downing Street was envisioned as part of George Town's civic precinct, and between 1889 and 1907, th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
