A documentation of hand forged ironwork visible in the streets of Melbourne CBD. The geographical parameters of the survey are all the streets and lanes within Spring, Flinders, Spencer, Hawke and Victoria Streets. I'm aware of the makers of a few of the pieces but most are maker unknown.
Typical of historical residential premises, Church and School yards in Australian cities is the cast iron fence and gate. Usually supported by forged iron buttresses to provide strength and stability.
