The 1875 cast iron fence and gateway at the Grattan Street entrance to Melb Uni was dismantled for the Melb Metro station and is right now going back in place (photos from @metrotunnelvic). Designed by Reed & Barnes in a Tudor style to match their 1860 gate lodge, they originally had two more pillars and gates; the pillars were removed in the late 50s for cars etc, but the gates were reused between Babel and Botany. B&W photo melb uni archives, entrance in 2013 from Google maps, gate photos @heritagecouncilvic.
