description | Later known as Browns Lane, then Bear Alley again, now known as Penfold Place. Sometimes known as Bear Lane. First named pre-1856. Located at or near: 396-400 Little Collins Street. Probable or possible origin of name: J.P. Bear, Bear's Horse Bazaar. 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. 66). ISBN 978-1-875173-12-9. "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. |
