Melbourne
Flinders & Spencer Streets
Past & present.
From beneath the clocks at Flinders Street Station, the Rose Series photographer looked across the intersection to St Paul’s Cathedral. Other views follow the railway west towards Spencer Street, where the old Fish Market once stood. The station entrances, kerbs and bridge approaches give you points to follow as you move between the photographs.
