Interesting facts
Jalan Besar means "big road" in Malay. The road was laid through nipah swamp in the 1880s, and the side streets around it, Beatty Road included, were opened up from the 1920s.
From 1926 the authorities named the new roads here after First World War figures and battlefields. Beatty Road honours a Royal Navy admiral, while nearby Somme Road and Verdun Road recall battles in France.
