Topic: Acland Street


In the News (Sun 27 May 12)

  
  Sphæra issue no. 11: article 8
Acland nevertheless stands as one of the most important figures in the scientific life of the University in the latter half of the 19th century.
Acland's house in Broad Street, almost directly opposite the Old Ashmolean on the site of what is now the New Bodleian, was a place where the most influential men and women of the time met, including such illustrious names as Gladstone, Salisbury, Newman, Pusey, Burdon Sanderson, and Kelvin.
In her memoirs Miss Acland recalls first meeting Ruskin in the 1850s when still a young child and when Ruskin was married to Effie Grey, who later famously divorced him for the painter John Everett Millais on the grounds of 'incurable impotence'.

 Acland Street - Great Public Spaces | Project for Public Spaces (PPS)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Acland Street has an intimate scale that brings pedestrians into close contact with its many cafes and street musicians, giving it the air of a bustling, linear party.
The street welcomes pedestrians with a rich and layered feast for the senses -- attractive and varied street design; talented street musicians playing in an array of musical styles; glistening displays of ornate pastries in cafe windows; and a parade for people-watching on evenings and weekends.
Street users choose to go there to relax and be sociable, and the spirit of relation -- aided by good food and music -- is infectious.

The apartment and retail development, to be built behind the popular Acland Street cafe strip, would add open space and feature internal piazzas and paths that connect to the gardens and beach beyond.
The concept began with local developer, landlord and son of Polish refugees, Nick Scheuer, who has watched Acland Street deteriorate from a vibrant, varied Jewish-flavoured strip into an area increasingly invaded by bland multinationals.
Mr Rijavec insists that unless there is a far-reaching plan for Acland Street, Luna Park, and surrounding streets, the area will fall prey to "petty competing interests" and will never regain its position as Melbourne's premier entertainment and tourist precinct.
