History
Three sites in Hosier Lane are included in the Victorian Heritage Inventory. Numbers 3-5 and 7-9 were purchased by William Rutledge in the third Melbourne land sales of 1838 with the 'laneway pattern' of the area developed by 1855. By the 1870s the two blocks between them held 26 single storey 'houses, yards & outbuildings' which may have been slums. Before 1888, the housing was replaced by three storey buildings and an iron store, and, by 1905, number 3-5 housed import businesses while number 7-9 was a vacant lot. The McDonald & Co Building, built in 1921 with a western exposure to Hosier Lane, is on the Victorian Heritage Inventory and is also classified by the National Trust. Originally constructed for a clothing manufacturer, it was designed by architects Robertson and Marks who were also responsible for the heritage listed AWA Tower in Sydney.

One of the earliest newspaper mentions of the lane is in a summary of auctions. Messers. Beauchamp and Byrne were auctioning a weatherboard cottage 'at the premises, Hosier Lane, Flinders Street' in July 1861.

An alleged robbery of a New Zealander, led to the discovery of a brothel in the lane, operated by the 'notorious' Nellie Wallace and Ted Liddle in 1876. Nancy Willis

In the 1920s, the lane was in the city's clothing manufacturing district and was home to 'an organ manufacturer, a warehouse for a men's clothing company, and a costume manufacturer'. Clothing related warehouses were also based in nearby Higson and Oliver Lanes.

In 1938, the lane was home to the offices of the Communist Party of Australia and, on the King's Birthday holiday, June 13 of that year, members of the 'Victoria Scottish militiamen' forced their way in. The militiamen's leader Kenneth Baron Moore, a salesman of East Malvern, was later fined for damaging an oil painting of Karl Marx, trespass and willful damage.

Canute's Trench'

 * Cnut the Great
 * River Neckinger


 * Anglo-Saxon Chronicle: "Then came the ships to Greenwich, about the gang-days, and within a short interval went to London; where they sunk a deep ditch on the south side, and dragged their ships to the west side of the bridge. Afterwards they trenched the city without, so that no man could go in or out, and often fought against it: but the citizens bravely withstood them."
