Panorama from Metropolitan Gas Company 2021 (Now Torrens University)

Three other panoramas have been added to show the view of Melbourne from Flinders Street. We have attributed them all to Robert Vere Scott, active at that time, using a Cirkut Camera to capture wide views.

The dates are not all certain but have been assigned approximately as ca1910 (from the Ball & Welch building balcony?), ca1900 from the East side tower of St Pauls and ca1890 from the west tower. The spires were added in the 1900s.

Click on the year button on the lower right to see the view at that time, which shows the remarkable development of Melbourne. Click on the “View” or “Visit” hotspot flags to be transported through time and space.
