Oxley Road, Singapore (30 July 2017)
Oxley Road is a minor road in River Valley, Singapore. It is a narrow two-lane road linking Orchard Road to River Valley Road, and forming a junction on its west side with Lloyd Road.
Oxley Road and related roads in the area, among them Oxley Rise, Oxley Walk and Oxley Garden, were all named after Dr Thomas Oxley, a wealthy surgeon who owned a vast nutmeg plantation known as Oxley Estate. The estate was bounded by River Valley Road, Tank Road (much longer in the 19th century than what you would see of it today), Orchard Road and Grange Road.
Oxley is located in Singapore Postal District 09.
Dr Oxley had come to settle in Singapore from Penang. He took the position of Senior Surgeon of the Straits Settlement in 1844. A keen botanist, he was one of the founding members of the Agricultural and Horticultural Society. Other roads within his estate includes Grange Road and Killiney Road.
