Pall Mall

Pall Mall 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" 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. Etymology Pall Mall in Bendigo is named after Pall Mall in London, England: a street known for its shops and architecturally important buildings. Like its English namesake, Pall Mall in Bendigo is also in the immediate vicinity of the Charing Cross intersection.
