Pall Mall (Bendigo)

Pall Mall, Bendigo in 1909 with the Alexandra Fountain at Charing Cross in the foreground.

Pall Mall /ˌpæl ˈmæl/ is a major thoroughfare in the centre of Bendigo, Victoria, Australia. It is one of the main streets of the Bendigo central business district and connects the Charing Cross intersection to the south-west with McCrae Street to the north-east at Howard Place, opposite Mundy Street. Pall Mall also forms a 500-metre section of the Midland Highway, one of Bendigo's main thoroughfares.

Since the 1860s, Pall Mall has been regarded as "one of the most charming thoroughfares in Australia"[1] and the collection of Victorian-era buildings in the Second Empire architectural style, gardens and statuary on either side of the wide tree-lined streetscape is unparalleled in regional Victoria.[2]
