Interesting facts
Kelantan Lane, like neighbouring Kelantan Road and Perak Road, takes its name from a state of Peninsular Malaysia.
The lane lies just behind the old Sungei Road flea market, often called the Thieves' Market, which spread over Pitt Street, Pasar Lane and the Kelantan Road area. Hokkien and Teochew speakers knew the place as gek sng kio, or frosted bridge, after the former Singapore Ice Works. The market closed in 2017.
Jalan Besar, at the end of the lane, began as a track through a betel nut and fruit orchard opened by the Norris brothers in the 1830s, according to URA.
Nearby
Jalan Besar MRT on the Downtown Line, which opened on 21 October 2017, is about three to five minutes on foot. Berseh Food Centre is close, and Sim Lim Tower and the electronics shops of Rochor are a short walk south.
