Historian, Alicia Cerreto, will take us on a journey through the history of Berry Street. Initially known as the Victorian Infant Asylum and Foundling Hospital it has had many name changes since. Founded in 1877 in Fitzroy the organization moved into the old police hospital in Vale Street in 1881 and remained in East Melbourne until its move to Richmond in 2007. Its history tells us much about the changing attitudes and social history of Melbourne.
