"Bears Lane, the scene of horse auctions at the yards of early Melbourne identity J.P. Bear, had its name replaced in favour of Adelaide invaders, the Penfold wine firm, which set up storage there. This is tall warehouse territory, justifying the hydraulic lift installed for Selbys at the far end of the place. It rumbled on to become the last of its kind in Melbourne." p. 66.
