1874 Richmond - Church Street Melbourne 1800-1820 in the period between whenA photo from 1874, looking south down Church Street from the corner of Gipps Street. Swan Street crosses further down, with the Swan Hotel on the south east corner. A little further south we can see the bluestone walls that are part of the railway tunnel that connects East Richmond Station (known at the time as Church Street Station) with Burnley Station. Church Street deviates to the left a little and finishes at the Yarra River, and continues south
