George Street, SingaporeUser:Sengkang, Copyrighted free use, via Wikimedia Commons
George Street is a minor road in downtown Singapore. It has the length of just one city block. A one-way street, it connects South Canal Road to Pickering Street, separating One George Street from Pickering Operations Complex.
According to Singapore Street Names, George Street was named after trader W.R. George who happens to be the son-in-low of Colonel Farquhar (and by that, I suppose, William Farquhar). George founded two companies, d'Almeida & Company and Stottiswoode & Company. His residential property occupied the site of present-day Raffles Hotel.
