Interesting facts
The open field north of here was Singapore's first racecourse. After racing left in 1933 it was named Farrer Park in 1935, after Roland John Farrer, who had been president of the Municipal Commission.
In February 1919, during Singapore's centenary celebrations, the racecourse grounds were used as an airstrip.
Roberts Lane is one of the later additions to the Jalan Besar Conservation Area. The first streets were gazetted on 25 October 1991, while buildings on Roberts Lane followed on 21 January 2008.
