History about Newton Road Where Makeway Avenue Is Located At
The Atelier, near to Newton Road is the namesake to Newton which is the planning area that is situated in the Central Area of the Central Region of Singapore. It is bounded by Rochor to the east, Kallang to the northeast, Novena to the north, Tanglin to the west, Museum and Orchard to the south. Newton Road begins from Newton Circus from the south and ends the intersection with Thomas Road in the north.
Formerly, Newton Road was known as Syed Ali Road, but it was later renamed in 1914 as Newton Road in honour of Alfred Howard Vincent, the Assistant Municipal Engineer Newton who died in 1897. The renaming of the road was also inspired by the objective of eliminating confusion between the then Syed Road and Syed Alwi Road.
