The Gallery

In the 1880s, large soft goods import warehouses established Flinders Lane as the heart of the clothing trade. This was due to the Lane's proximity to wharves and railway stations, and its centrality to Melbourne's population.

For over one hundred years ‘The Lane’ was an Australian institution due to its clothing and textiles. The number of clothing firms on the street reached 610 in 1939, and this level of activity was maintained until the early 1960s.
