This is a history of Melbourne's lanes over 180 years from their creation in the 1840s until 2024. This book is an RHSV publication (in partnership with the State Library of Victoria) which expands on a popular but now well out-of-print book by historian Weston Bate, Essential but Unplanned: The Story of Melbourne's Lanes (1994). The new book (280 pages) more than doubles the size of the old with extra chapters to bring the story of Melbourne's lanes up to date. There is a multitude of new photos - both contemporary and historical, both colour and black-and-white and more comprehensive indices.
