It was a coastal road fronting the sea coast in the early decades of the British colonial city.Up till the 1870s and 1880s, the sea came right up to Beach Road. At the time, large seaside villas stood there. Raffles reserved Beach Road for the European merchants to live.By 1825, there were 20 such buildings. In 1886, one of these 20 houses, owned by W.R. George, was bought over by the Sarkies brothers ,which then became what now known as the Raffles Hotel.By the 1880s, these houses were turned into hostels and eating places to cater to the increasing flow of travellers and Beach Road ceased to be a prestigious residential district.]]> 2016-06-22 02:06:06 UTC https://padlet.com/belindacjx/dza52fq1aotj/wish/115900652 What is my chosen street name? belindacjx https://padlet.com/belindacjx/dza52fq1aotj/wish/115900657 The street name which I chose is Beach Road.The reason why I chose this is because I have been there before and also did my research about it. Another reason why I chose this street name is because I thought not many people would research on it and therefore decided to do it.
The road starts at its junction with Crawford Street in Kallang in the north, runs in a generally southerly direction, enters the Downtown Core at its junction with Ophir Road, and ends at its junction with Stamford Road and Saint Andrew's Road to the south.
