Description: Melbourne Street was the section of road which ran between Shakespeare Street and Woodborough Road and after 1895 became part of Mansfield Road. Many of the houses and shops in the area were demolished c1895 to make way for the construction of Victoria Railway Station. (Some 1300 houses and 24 public houses which previously occupied the huge site had to be demolished).
