The Hay Market In 1841 near the corner of Little Collins and about half an block of the reserve which stayed next to the building used for a Female Jail was made as a future site for a general market by the council. At the time it was unofficialy used it was used as a hay and corn market At the request of the Council it was claimed a general market site on 1 August 1846, and straight away became the official hay and corn market in place of the one which had operated on the site where St. Paul's Cathedral now stands. Melbourne remains a Market town with many large markets including South Melbourne, Prahran and Dandenong Markets.
