Melbourne
William Street
Past & present.
In the 1872 photograph of the Mint, the building faces William Street across its forecourt. Further along the chapter, John Sanderson & Co.’s woolbroking premises tell a different part of the street’s commercial history. The photographs lead from buildings set back behind fences to shopfronts built right up to the pavement.
