自早期以来，Magazine Circus 或是後來的 Magazine Junction 一直是槟城繁忙的地标，曾是电车系统的中心枢纽，连接城市各个地区。后来，这里转变为六条道路交会的圆环（槟榔律，火车路，头条路，风车路，柑仔园和中路），因此得名 Magazine Circus，马来语称为 Simpang Enam，福建话称为 “五葩灯”（Go-pha-teng）。

1980年代，配合市政綜合中心項目，包括一座巨型摩天樓 – 光大大廈（KOMTAR）的建設，此交匯點從電車交界處，逐渐发展为交通圈，最终被交通灯取代，城市景观也随之改变。

A bustling landmark in Penang since the early days, Magazine Circus or later known as Magazine Junction was once the central hub for the tramway system, connecting various parts of the city. It later transformed into a distinctive roundabout with six intersecting roads (Jalan Penang, Jalan Gladstone, Jalan Magazine, Jalan Gurdwara, Jalan Datuk Keramat and Jalan Macalister), earning the name Magazine Circus - also known as Simpang Enam in Malay and Go-pha-teng ("Five Lanterns") in Hokkien.

In the 1980s, plans for a civic complex led to the construction of a giant skyscraper – KOMTAR. This junction gradually transformed from a tramway hub into a roundabout, and was eventually replaced by traffic lights, reshaping the city's landscape.

Magazine Junction 曾是電車系統的核心樞紐，連接著城市各個地區。1910年建成了一條長達 885 米（968 碼） 的電車延伸路線，貫穿整條風車路，被稱為 Brick Kiln Road Extension。後來，電車路線進一步向外延伸，連接人口稠密的市郊，從頭條路通往日落洞，途中繞過了風車路。

隨著城市發展，有軌電車系統逐漸演變，被無軌電車取代，最終過渡到現代的交通運輸系統。

Magazine Junction was once the hub for the tramway system, connecting various parts of the city. An extension tram line named Brick Kiln Road Extension was suggested and constructed on 1910 with the distance of 968 yards or equivalent to 885 meters. Later, the line further extended through densely populated suburbs, running from Magazine Road to Jelutong and bypassing Brick Kiln Road.

Over time, as the city developed, the electric tram system evolved, giving way to trolleybuses and eventually transitioning into modern transportation systems.

GAMA 最初由张清源于1967年创立，名为槟榔百货有限公司 。当时位于槟榔律（Jalan Pinang)，邻近著名的吉靈萬山（Chowrasta Market）。后来迁至现址，并于1981年以GAMA之名重新开幕。开幕时，GAMA成为當時槟城最大的购物中心。

在 GAMA 建立之前，該址曾是五盞燈警察局 ，於1880年代初設立，並持續運作至約1950年代末。其間，1953年該局扣留所曾發生駭人的在押人員逃逸事件，當時約有上萬人遭到訊問。

GAMA was originally founded as Pulau Pinang Supermarket by Chang Cheng Guan in 1967. Initially located on Penang Road, next to the iconic Chowrasta Market, the supermarket later relocated to its current site and renamed as GAMA with an opening on 1981. Upon its opening, GAMA became the largest shopping center in Penang.

Before GAMA, the site was home to the Magazine Police Station, established in the early 1880s and remained in operation until late 1950s. In 1953, two detainees escaped from the police station, leading to the biggest manhunt of that time, over ten thousand residents being quizzed.

這座建築最初於1947年建成，採用Art Deco風格，曾作為興公司（藍色巴士）的巴士車廠，負責停放與維修巴士。1999年車廠停止運作後，建築閒置至2010年，後來由三個家族購入。

2014年，這個場域被活化為創意社群聚落，並於2014年1月17日對外開放，舉辦了首檔展覽，由 Ernest Zacharevic 呈現的《Art Is Rubbish Is Art》。

Once a bus depot for Hin Company Limited, now a creative community hub.

Originally built in 1947 in the Art Deco style, this space once served as a bus depot for Hin Company, housing and maintaining its fleet aka the Blue Buses. After the depot ceased operations in 1999, the building remained vacant until 2010, when it was acquired by three families.

In 2014, the site was revitalized as a creative community hub, with its inaugural exhibition, “Art Is Rubbish Is Art” by Ernest Zacharevic, opening to the public on 17 January 2014.

這座宏偉的錫克廟建於1901年，曾是東南亞最大的錫克廟。最初名為鑽禧錫克廟（Diamond Jubilee Sikh Temple），為紀念維多利亞女王的鑽禧而命名。當年除了是個宗教膜拜場所，更是個一個歇腳站。建築風格融合了摩爾式與現代建築元素，同時也參考了阿姆利则（印度旁遮普邦）的金廟的建築輪廓，成為街道上非常醒目的一座地標。

Founded in 1901, this magnificent Gurdwara was once the largest in Southeast Asia. Initially named the Diamond Jubilee Sikh Temple, in commemoration of Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee. The building itself is a striking blend of Moorish and modern architectural styles, also followed the general lines of the Sikh Golden Temple at Amritsar, making it a notable landmark on the street.

這所學校最初於1887年創立，名為 Kampong Jawa Malay School。在遷至現址前，曾搬遷兩次。

2011年，改名為丹斯里比南利國小 (Sekolah Kebangsaan Tan Sri P. Ramlee)，為紀念這位傳奇人物曾經在此度過了童年與學前時光。

Founded in 1887 as Kampong Jawa Malay School, the school has been relocated twice before settling at its current site.

In 2011, it was renamed Sekolah Kebangsaan Tan Sri P. Ramlee in honor of the legendary icon, who spent his early childhood and pre-school years there.

這片廣闊的土地曾是馬來（西）亞第一個牲畜檢疫站的所在地，於1896年設立，以應對當時席捲全球的牛瘟疫情（rinderpest outbreak）。檢疫站內設有高大且通風良好的大廳，可同時容納250頭牛。

如今，這裡成為東北縣獸醫局（Northeast District Veterinary Services Office）的辦公地點。該局雖於1965年正式成立，但其歷史可追溯至1888年。目前，該局主要專注於動物診療，以及為狗、貓和雞隻進行疫苗接種。

This large piece of land was once home to Malaysia’s first cattle quarantine station, established in 1896 as a measure to combat the global rinderpest outbreak. The facility featured a lofty, well-ventilated hall and had the capacity to accommodate 250 head of cattle at a time.

Today, the site is occupied by the Northeast District Veterinary Services Office, which was officially formed in 1965, though the department’s origins date back to 1888. The office now focuses on animal treatment, vaccinations for dogs, cats, and chickens.

約莫1890年代初，夜香收集站已在風車路附近建立。在早期，市政局的夜香服務覆蓋了畓田仔、火車路、檳榔律和汕頭街一帶的住家。收集後的夜香會先運送到風車路鄰近的雙溪檳榔河，再由舢舨載往木寇島附近的水域進行處理。

夜香工人的宿舍潮興公司（Teoh Heng Kongsi）則建於英殖民時期，確切年份暫無法考察。該公司位於 SP Chelliah 路旁的小巷內，俗稱倒糞路，但於2015年底被拆除，以進行新發展計畫。目前只有潮興公司裡的大伯公迁移至 SP Chelliah 路旁。

Around the early 1890s, a night soil depot was erected nearby Brick Kiln Road. In the early days, the Municipality’s night soil service covered households in the areas of Carnarvon Street, Gladstone Road, Penang Road and Kimberly Street. The collected night soil was first transported to a branch of Sungai Pinang, adjoining Brick Kiln Road, and then carried by sampans to the waters near Pulau Jerejak for disposal.

The hostel of night soil workers Teoh Heng Kongsi was built during the British colonial era in an alley along Jalan SP Chelliah, but it was demolished in late 2015 to make way for new development. At present, only the Tua Pek Kong from Teoh Heng Kongsi has been relocated to the side of SP Chelliah Road.

這座設施建於約1910年，24小時內可處理40噸垃圾。同樣採用Heenan 專利設計的焚化爐，如今仍可在一些城市看見，包括澳洲的阿德萊德（Adelaide）和紐西蘭的威靈頓市（Wellington City）。

在1958年至1965年間，社會主義陣線（Socialist Front）執政喬治市期間，興建了新的焚化爐，其遺跡至今仍可見。

Built around 1910, the facility had the capacity to process 40 tons of refuse within 24 hours. A similar Heenan-patented refuse destructor can still be found in several towns, including Adelaide and Wellington City in Australia today.

Later with Socialist Front governed the city (1958 - 1965), a new incinerator been constructed and the remnant still can be seen today.

該地及建築群建於1920年代後期，作為市政工程部（Municipal Engineering Department）的辦公與作業設施。該部門備有新設施和現代化機械，為城市基礎建設帶來重大進步，包括道路與人行道鋪設材料從傳統柏油轉為瀝青混凝土（asphalt concrete），以及引進街道清洗機械，大幅提升市區的清潔。

在1930年代，風車路曾被譽為檳城最美麗的街道。它是最早全面鋪設瀝青混凝土的道路之一，並設有特別寬闊的人行道，象徵著當時現代市政工程的成就與城市的自豪。

It is believed that the site and buildings were constructed in the late 1920s to house the Municipal Engineering Department. The new facility was equipped with modern machinery, bringing significant advancements to the town’s infrastructure. These improvements included the transition from traditional tar to asphalt concrete for road paving and footpaths, as well as the introduction of street-washing machinery, enhancing urban cleanliness and efficiency.

In the 1930s, Jalan Gurdwara was celebrated as the most beautiful street in Penang. It was among the first to be fully paved with asphalt concrete and featured unusually wide pedestrian pathways, a symbol of modern municipal engineering and urban pride at the time.

開恆美於1888年由潘興隆（Phuah Hin Leong）與其夥伴創立，逐漸發展成為檳城最大的碾米企業之一。隨著時間推移，潘興隆成為該業務的唯一擁有人。

1903年，在淡水港（Sungai Pinang）岸邊建立了一座配備先進機械的現代化米油廠，展現了其對創新的承諾。潘興隆去世後，這座新工廠由潘興隆的兒子林清德（Lim Cheng Teik）負責管理。當時，開恆美米油廠甚至曾申請設立私人空中索道和軌道，以方便從運送工廠貨物。

1918年，開恆美米較廠發生嚴重大火，預計損失高達 $500,000。

Founded in 1888 by Phuah Hin Leong and his partners, Khie Heng Bee grew into one of the largest rice milling enterprises in Penang. Over time, Phuah became the sole owner of the business.

In 1903, a modern rice and oil mill equipped with advanced machinery was established along the banks of Sungai Pinang. This new facility, reflecting the company’s commitment to innovation, was managed by Phuah’s son, Lim Cheng Teik after Phuah passed away. Khie Heng Bee even requested a private aerial ropeway and private tram way along Brick Kiln Road to facilitate mill goods transportation from the mill to drying ground.

A major fire broke out on 1918, with estimated damages reaching $500,000.

最初於1897年由李振和（Lee Chin Ho）在73號柑仔園路創立，名為成記熔錫廠（Seng Kee Tin Smelting Works）。1907年，公司更名為 東方熔錫公司（Eastern Smelting Company - ESCOY）。

該熔錫廠曾是檳城乃至馬來西亞歷史最悠久、規模最大的熔錫廠，主要從霹靂州與泰國南部進口錫礦，熔煉成錠後，經由檳城港出口至海外。隨著馬來西亞錫業的衰退，工廠於1998年關閉，後來由Ivory地產集團收購，並改建為檳城時代廣場（Penang Times Square）。

這座熔錫廠唯一保存至今的遺跡是Birch House，它建於1908年，原為ESCOY辦公室，如今已改建為麥當勞。

Initially founded as Seng Kee Tin Smelting Works in 1897 by Lee Chin Ho. It became the Eastern Smelting Company (ESCOY) in 1907.

The plant was Penang and Malaysia's longest-running and largest tin smelting works. It imported tin from Perak and southern Thailand for smelting into ingots, which were then re-exported via the Port of Penang. The decline of Malaysia's tin industry led to the closure of the smelting facility in 1998 and the site was later acquired by Ivory Properties Group and redeveloped into Penang Times Square.

The only surviving remnant of this tin smelting plant, Birch House which was built to house the office of ESCOY at 1908, has now been converted into a McDonald's.
