| Layer Id | 1394 | Name | Gregory Lane |
| Description | Side walkway/arcade of 333 Collins runs approximately on its footprint. Status: Discontinued. Named pre-1856. Located at or near: 314-316 Flinders Lane. Probable or possible origin of name: Stephen Gregory, business owner. Location is approximate. For more information, see: Bate, W., Broome, R., Davis, N., May, A. J., & Stitt, H. (2024). The story of Melbourne’s lanes: Essential but unplanned (pp. 134, 192). ISBN 978-1-875173-12-9. "By the early 1990s, 10 per cent of the total number of lanes had fallen under the bulldozer. The Becton Corporation had nibbled away Gregory Lane for the 333 Collins Street redevelopment, Melbourne Central (opened 1991) had engrossed eight old laneways, and the Hyatt Hotel had gobbled up another. Critics of such change saw the future as elitist and alienating, with Melbourne in danger of losing a core component of its history. If Irving's lane prints were the wanted poster for rampant development, Bate's book was at once reflective of loss, but in its own way a signal for change." p. 134. |
