Chester Street is one of the oldest streets in Tawau and it runs parallel with Dunlop Street which is the oldest in town. The street dates back as early as 1930’s. We are unable to trace back who this “Chester” person is, but we believe that he is probably one of the officers working at the District Office then.

David – a traveller who travelled to Tawau recently shared some of his photos with discovertawau.com. He also posted them in Panoramio. These will give you a glimpse of how Tawau looks like, if you haven’t seen close-up of this town before. We would like to thank David for sharing these photos.
