Visitors can put a \u2018face to the name\u2019 as they traverse the grid, learning more of our explorers, colonial origins, founding fathers and events in our city\u2019s past.<\/p>\n<p>Melbourne\u2019s rectangular grid design has been the very basis of its identity as a city from its beginnings. The design has stood the test of time with little change to its pattern since it was laid down in 1837 by Robert Hoddle. The exhibition includes a brief history and biography of Hoddle and the development of the Hoddle Grid. The exhibition displays never before seen records from the Public Record Office Victoria collection including, Hoddle\u2019s original plan of Melbourne, early maps, rare field books and letters. Flinders, Collins, LaTrobe, Spring, Russell and other Melbourne streets and lanes are showcased. The exhibition investigates the lives and roles of the people behind the street names and turns Melbourne\u2019s thoroughfares into time capsules.<\/p>\n<p>The exhibition curator said \u201cMuch of Melbourne\u2019s past is reflected in the street names we see every day, but don\u2019t think about.
