1919 In the past, Tin Alley used to be called “The Avenue�. There also used to be a creek called Townend Creek which ran from North to South, right across Tin Alley and down to the Yarra river. The Creek was redirected underground with the development of the University. Around the 1830s, the creek was a migration stream for short-finned eel, which, some say, can still be found in the pond of the Redmond Barry Yard. (University of Melbourne Maps, 2017)
