Flinders Lane is a minor street in the central business district of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. The street runs parallel to and to the north of Flinders Street and as a narrow one way lane takes on the name of the wider main street. The street was the centre of Melbourne's rag trade for the middle decades of the 20th century and is still home to small boutique designers. The lane has been spared the overdevelopment of nearby Collins Street, with many of these buildings historically subject to strict height limits of around 40 metres. Despite the loss of some significant turn of the 20th century buildings, it is now known for its "SoHo" atmosphere. Today, the area is home to many boutique hotels, "loft style" apartment conversions, cafes and bars as well as connecting with a number of smaller lanes, including Degraves Street, ACDC Lane, Manchester Lane and ''Centreway'' which weave their way through the city. The Lane is also home to luxury French label Chanel who have a flagship store at the "Paris end" of the city, on the corner of Flinders Lane and Russell Street. For a block between William Street and Market Street, Melbourne tram route 55 runs along Flinders Lane. ==Landmarks== Flinders Lane has many notable multi-storey warehouses, some included on the Victorian Heritage Register; including ''Leicester House'' (1888), ''Murray House'', ''Chapter House'' (1891) by William Butterfield, ''Ross House'' (1898) by Sulman & Power, ''Milton House'' (1901) by Sydney Smith & Ogg, ''Tomasetti Warehouse'', ''Manchester House'' and the ''Majorca Building'' (1928) by Harry Norris. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Flinders Lane, Melbourne」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
