Francis Light Memorial
Lebuh Farquhar, George Town


        



Francis Light Memorial, on the grounds of the St George's Anglican Church at Farquhar Street, George Town, was build in 1886 to commemorate the 100th Anniversary of the founding of Penang by Captain Francis Light. It stands in the compound of the St George's Church. The Francis Light Memorial is built in similar Georgian-Palladium style as the church. It has a dome ornamented with vases. Underneath the dome is a marble plaque honouring Light.

    SBI

    Ever want to build your own website? Do it the right way by using Site Build It (SBI). It has all the tools and lessons necessary to help you create a successful website. Once you have built an SBI website, you can also use it to recommend SBI to others with an SBI Affiliate account. What I like most about SBI is that it gives you a whole month to try it out for free, and if you don't like it after a full month, you can seek a full refund. That way, you can see for yourself how SBI can really help you create a great website.
