Pengkalan Weld

Weld Quay, or Pengkalan Weld, is a coastal road on the east side of George Town. It was built at the turn of the 20th century, following the land reclamation of the eastern shore that took place between 1881 and 1904 that created a new coastal land for a deeper port. Weld Quay was named after Sir Frederick Weld, the Governor of the Straits Settlements from 1880 to 1887 who was instrumental in the land reclamation and port expansion project.
