A Collection Of Historical Connections Between Cultures And Civilisations
This gallery celebrates the collection of images of the community and people that have lived on Penang Hill from the 1950s to today. Each photograph tells timeless stories about the residents of Penang Hill and the community that embodies the true spirit of Malaysia’s diverse and multi-racial culture. Unity has always been our nation’s greatest strength and this is evident on Penang Hill where the community has experienced struggles and triumphs together as one.
A very significant wall in this gallery is our tribute to Edgecliff Bungalow’s Scottish architect – J.C. Miller. He built Edgecliff in 1937 and was involved in other buildings in Penang most notably The Chartered Bank of India, Australia & China in Beach Street and York House in today’s Medan York. On Penang Hill, he designed three houses: Treetops (1929); Nook (1929, now in ruins); and his own home (Edgecliff Bungalow). Miller left Penang in 1939 as WWII threatened and did not return.
Finally and as a befitting conclusion, we extend our thanks and acknowledgement to the people who have worked tirelessly on Penang Hill Gallery@Edgecliff in our Contribution Wall. Without their contribution and support, none of this would have been possible.

Koleksi Perhubungan Bersejarah Antara Budaya Dan Tamadun
Galeri ini meraikan koleksi imej komuniti serta mereka yang pernah tinggal di Bukit Bendera dari tahun 1950-an hingga ke hari ini. Setiap gambar akan menceritakan kisah abadi tentang penduduk Bukit Bendera dan komunitinya yang menjiwai semangat sebenar budaya Malaysia yang pelbagai dan berbilang kaum. Perpaduan sentiasa menjadi kekuatan terbesar negara kita dan ini terbukti di Bukit Bendera di mana masyarakatnya telah melalui kesulitan dan kejayaan bersama -sama.
Dinding yang amat penting di dalam galeri ini tentunya adalah penghormatan kami kepada arkitek Scotland Banglo Edgecliff – JC Miller. Beliau telah membina Edgecliff pada tahun 1937 dan turut terlibat dalam bangunan lain di Pulau Pinang terutamanya The Chartered Bank of India, Australia & China di Beach Street dan York House di Medan York. Di Bukit Bendera, beliau telah merekabentuk tiga buah rumah: Treetops (1929); Nook (1929, kini telah runtuh); dan rumahnya sendiri (Banglo Edgecliff). Miller meninggalkan Pulau Pinang pada tahun 1939 ketika ancaman Perang Dunia II dan tidak pernah kembali.
Akhir sekali dan sebagai penutup, kami ingin merakamkan ucapan terima kasih dan penghargaan kami kepada mereka yang telah bekerja tanpa jemu di Gallery@Edgecliff Bukit Bendera melalui Dinding Sumbangan kami. Tanpa sumbangan dan sokongan mereka, semua ini tidak mungkin dapat di realisasikan.
