About Campbell Street
Campbell Street, or Lebuh Campbell, is a street within the buffer zone of the George Town Unesco World Heritage Site. A one-way street, it runs from Penang Road to the junction of Buckingham Street and Carnarvon Street. In between, it forms junctions with Kuala Kangsar Road, Cintra Street and Rope Walk.Campbell Street was named after the Penang Inspector General (1866-1891) Sir George William Robert Campbell, who was also the acting Lieutenant-Governor of Penang between 1872 and 1873. As such, the street was named after a different person from Campbell Road (nowadays known as Jalan Dang Wangi) in Kuala Lumpur or Campbell Lane in Singapore. Campbell Street extends from Buckingham Street, which is older. No wonder the locals called it Sin3 Kay1, meaning "new street".During the third quarter of the 19th century and into the 20th century, it was a red-light district, lined with brothels that advertise themselves by hanging red lanterns at their doors. The term "sin kay" acquired a whole new meaning, as a pun to mean "fresh hookers", in reference to the newly arrived prostitutes, many of whom are Cantonese. The Malays called Campbell Street Jalan Makau, in reference to Macau, in reference to the port city from which Cantonese laborers and prostitutes arrive.In the mid 20th century, Campbell Street had become the most important shopping street for the locals. It is the place to shop for clothes, watches and shoes. The business began to decline by the mid 70's. Today most of the retail outlets have been taken over by wholesalers. The eastern end of Campbell Street, between Rope Walk and Carnarvon Street, was the centre of the Chinese jewellery business, with jewellery shops lining both sides of the street.
