Nagore Road After the Rain

Nagore Road

Nagore Road is a small old road with rows of straits-style terrace houses located along it. Used to be residential houses back in the old days, most of these houses are now currently used as commercial shops, cafes and restaurants. This road is accessible via a right turning from Burmah Road. The area is also now known as Nagore Square and one may find many art murals scattered around this area.

Five Foot Ways (a form of heritage architectural design) are public spaces in front of most pre-war townhouses in George Town such as this one at Nagore Road.

George Town Street View: Nagore Mews

Nagore Mews

Nagore Mews consist of a number of old houses which were then converted from mews. There are three rows of such houses in the area, with two floors for each row. The mews were abandoned for quite some time until they were being bought over. They were also used as the locations for the Urban Xchange Street Art exhibition. Currently, street stalls selling food and stuff can be found populating the once abandoned lots. The mews are located at along Nagore Road, George Town.
