The whole area, heavily bombed in 1940, still retains its old cobbled streets, the former warehouses and a reminder of the global trade of the Empire, which made it the centre of largest docks in the world. I had to remind myself where Penang is; Malaysia. I guess it was linked to the import of rubber and ivory.
