Ignatius Took A Trip Down Memory Lane .......To Gurney Drive , Penang 2023


Ignatius and Pauline took a trip down Gurney Drive. 
This was in May after attending Khaw Cheng Bor's memorial.


This was the corner where Chew Boon Juan's residence used to be. 

It's now known as 8 Gurney. I was told by the late Khaw Cheng Bor in 2018 that the original name of Gurney was ...."Cedar Bank because it had a huge drain leading to the sea. Later it was changed to North Beach Road and lastly became known as Gurney Drive".

Could this entrance be the location where Chew Gaik Swee started her first boutique??


It's not a bungalow now but a multi storey condominium

Ignatius talked to a resident that remembered Gurney Drive as it used to be

This was where Chung Thye Phin Villa used to be

Chung Thye Phin's villa was a wide spread indeed
