The Old Market Square is located just north of the Central Market. It is most notable for the architecture of the buildings on the west side of the street and the clocktower on the east side of the street that was built in 1937. The clock tower features an interesting art deco motif. This Art Deco monument was erected in 1937 to mark the coronation of George VI. But the brass plaques that told you so were removed when Malaya gained independence from the British Empire. Just the screw holes remain. The area is also home to the first bridge (1883) in Kuala Lumpur to cross the Klang River.
