__History of Kew Depot and It's Routes
HISTORY OF KEW DEPOT AND ITS ROUTES Page 1 HISTORY of KEW DEPOT and the ROUTES OPERATED by KEW Compiled and written by Hugh Waldron MCILT CA 1500 The word tram and tramway are derived from Scottish words indicating the type of truck and the tracks used in coal mines. 1807 The first Horse tram service in the world commences operation between Swansea and Mumbles in Wales. 12th September 1854 At 12.20 pm first train departs Flinders Street Station for Sandridge (Port Melbourne) First Steam operated railway line in Australia. The line is eventually converted to tram operation during December 1987 between the current Southbank Depot and Port Melbourne. The first rail lines in Australia operated in Newcastle Collieries operated by horses in 1829. Then a five-mile line on the Tasman Peninsula opened in 1836 and powered by convicts pushing the rail vehicle. The next line to open was on 18/5/1854 in South Australia (Goolwa) and operated by horses. 1864 Leonard John Flannagan was born in Richmond. After graduating he became an Architect and was responsible for being the Architect building Malvern Depot 1910, Kew Depot 1915 and Hawthorn Depot 1916. He died 2nd November 1945. September 1873 First cable tramway in the world opens in Clay Street, San Francisco, USA. 1877 Steam tramways commence. Victoria only had two steam tramways both opened 1890 between Sorrento Pier to Sorrento Back Beach closed on 20th March 1921 (This line also operated horse trams when passenger demand was not high.) and Bendigo to Eaglehawk converted to electric trams in 1903. -
Victorian Heritage Database Place Details - 27/9/2021 Spencer Street Bridge
Victorian Heritage Database place details - 27/9/2021 Spencer Street Bridge Location: Between Spencer Street & Clarendon Street,, MELBOURNE VIC 3000 - Property No B6799 Heritage Inventory (HI) Number: Listing Authority: HI Extent of Registration: Statement of Significance: The Spencer Street Bridge built by the Victorian Railways Construction Branch in 1929-30 is significant as a major new crossing of the Yarra River reflecting engineering and design standards intended to enhance the Yarra River as an aesthetic and recreational adjunct to the City of Melbourne. The Spencer Street Bridge is significant for aesthetic/architectural, historic, and technical reasons at a State level. Spencer Street Bridge was constructed after a long period of stagnation in road and bridge development in Victoria in a climate of controversy and rivalry between public authorities, local councils and politicians. The Spencer Street Bridge is of historical significance as the first major new crossing (as opposed to replacement of older bridges on existing crossings such as the 1924 Church Street Bridge) to be created over the lower Yarra in Melbourne after a considerable lull in such projects since the Morell Bridge of 1899-1900. Its construction demonstrates the political difficulties of the time and the growing importance of motor vehicle traffic to Melbourne's commerce. The Spencer Street Bridge was the first permanent structure over the Yarra built below "the falls" (a natural rock barrier that formed the upstream limit of practical river navigation) and as such is historically important because it was the first bridge to effectively cut the city off from direct contact with its port. -

Queens Bridge Street (originally called Moray Street North, along with City Road, provided the main access into South and Port Melbourne from the city when the only bridges available for foot and wheel traffic were the Princes the Falls bridges. The Kearney map of 1855 shows land north of City Road (then Sandridge Road) as poorly-drained and avoided on account of its flood-prone nature. To the immediate south was Emerald Hill. The Port Melbourne railway crossed the river at The Falls and ran north of City Road. By the time of Commander Cox’s 1866 map, some industrial premises were located on the Yarra River bank and walking tracks connected them with the Sandridge Road and Emerald Hill. -

Palaeontologist, National Museum of Victoria In an accompanying paper, Mr. B. Tindale sets out the deter- minations he kindly made of diatoms extracted by him from samples of diatomites in the National Museum collection. The following notes are an effort to interpret the results in the light of the writer's studies of the areas concerned. A. Yaera Delta Floeas The upper part of the Yarra Delta consists of two formations, viz., a lower fossiliferous yellow marine clay into which streams in time gone by cut a terrestrial physiography which reaches far below present sea-level. The clay was thus penetrated by air and oxidized. This buried river system has been infilled and the yellow clay completely covered, by the second higher and younger forma- tion of highly fossiliferous black marine silt, which occurs to about ten feet above low-water Hobson's Bay. One of the com- monest shells in this deposit is the stenothermal Anadara trapezia, which is almost extinct in Port Phillip Bay but occurs in count- less numbers in the delta. The fossil ones are also about twice the size of the extant ones. The species still flourishes further north where the waters are warmer. Anadara trapezia is common, too, in the underlying yellow clay. A number of pieces of fossil wood has been found in the black silt, and these have been kindly deter- mined by Mr. -

Trauma of settlement in the wilderness. No building skills. Buildings first influenced by English rural vernacular. Historic development Settlement at Sorrento, 1803. Failed, due to a source of sufficent fresh water. Settlement at Corinella, Western Port Bay, 1826. Only some bricks survive. Melbourne was settled in 1835, illegally, by land-hungry pastoralists from Launceston. The District of Port Phillip, in the Colony of New South Wales was imposed on the settlers. Although not generally acknowledged as such, it was the only settlement in Australia unsanctioned by any government. Gold was discovered in 1851, at Warrandyte and Clunes: instant wealth. Gold towns Clunes.
