The ORD Bridge

Under the hot rays at the ORD Bridge

This bridge was named after Sir Harry Ord, who was the first British Governor of the Straits Settlements in 1886.

The name ORD is actually an abbreviation of the name Ordnance Bridge. This name was given due to the presence of ordinance stores around the bridge at that time. Another name for the bridge is Toddy Bridge, and this is due to the many liquor shops present at that time.
