ADDRESS : NO.101 LEBUH BISHOP

 scuplture 6
 

The `Bullock Cart’ sculpture is located on Jalan Masjid Kapitan Keling, one of the four major streets in the original grid pattern laid out by Francis Light. The Bullock Cart Wheel sculpture captures two different historical insights of Penang. Firstly this stretch of road was used until recently for parking bullock carts, while the ½ - cent Straits Settlement coin is an allusion to a stingy person, who perceives the coin to be as big as the wheel of a bullock cart.
