The plain, sturdy #castironfence at #QueensCollege #MelbourneUniversity isn’t original – it’s actually from the #QueenVictoriaHospital, a huge Edwardian complex which originally occupied a whole block of Lonsdale Street in the #MelbCBD, demolished bit by bit in the 90s, made me so mad, anyway the fence, dating from 1915, found a new home here c1998, somehow it was made to curve very nicely – but you can see the bluestone base just steps abruptly. Hmmm I know this to be true, but the college has no heritage listing (!) nor does their own history mention it, nor the #HeritageVictoria listing for the hospital …..
