Leith Street in Penang, and what you never knew about it

On this walking tour, I will take you to discover Leith Street in George Town, Penang, and as we will, I will explain to you the history of the street which you might never be aware.

I stay in Penang as often as I can for as long as i can and I'm in love with the place. Loved your video and the history and information you give about the buildings is very interesting and useful. Thanks.

Thank you so much, Nigel for taking the time to write. I will create more videos to share the information I have amassed over the years. The way I create my videos, presently, has been very time consuming. I hope to speed up the video production, so that I can bring out more videos to share the information with people who are interested in Penang's history.

Great video on Leith Street, Timothy. Edison Hotel, once known as Cathay Hotel was a mansion built by tycoon Yeoh Wee Gark & he named his mansion, Venus House. The bungalow at the centre of the Red Garden Food Paradise hawker centre was built by tycoon Tye Yee Koon & was his primary residence.

Oh yes, the name Yeoh Wee Gark escaped me when I walked the street. Actually, I have forgotten it, even though I was told it when I stayed there.

very interesting street.. with beautiful old mansions with history.. but not being rude.. its such a shame.. that hawkers centre is such an eye sore.. with very thirdworld type of vibe.. Penang people should try to improve their visual aesthetic.. why not build a beautiful hawker centre that will enhance the area.. surely its not that difficult..

[@discoverwithtimothy]

No sir, you are not being rude at all. Unfortunately, I also agree with you!
