Jalan Argyll
Mid 19th Century
Argyll Road, or Jalan Argyll, had a sizable North Indian community, as did the area surrounding Penang Road, which saw two religious buildings of the North Indians: the Sri Kunj Bihari Temple on Penang Road and the Bengali Mosque on Leith Street. Argyll Road itself was called Lorong Bengali.
