George Town Street View: Five Foot Way

Walway

Five Foot Ways are public spaces in front of most pre-war townhouses in George Town. An unique architectural design on its own, Five Foot Ways roughly describes the width of the walking passage though this may not necessarily be accurate as some passage ways may be wider or more narrow.

George Town Street View: Kampung Kolam

Kampung Kolam
Kampung Kolam is actually used to be a small village that was named after a large granite tank that was present back in the old days of the house of Kapitan Keling. Kapitan Keling was the head of the local Tamil Muslim community during that time and the tank had been supplying water to the poor back then.
