Jalan Krian, George Town, Penang

Jalan Krian, George Town, Penang (30 June 2018)


Jalan Krian, formerly Krian Road, is a minor road in George Town, Penang. It is the offshoot from Macalister Road heading west before the intersection with Anson Road. Krian Road connects Macalister Road on one end to Seang Tek Road on the other. As with many of the roads in the neighbourhood, Krian Road was named after a place in then Malaya, in this case, the district of Kerian in Perak.

Krian Road is lined with mostly double-storey Straits Eclectic-style townhouses. Since the turn of the 21st century, many of these have been renovated and converted into shophouses, in particular a row of eight houses now branded as 8 Row. There are still other townhouses in the area that have yet to be restored.
