Lorne's Mountjoy Parade

Mountjoy Parade was formerly known as Marine Parade. Early maps show Otway Street was named before Marine Parade or Mountjoy Parade were shown on the map. Earlier in history, many buildings were built on both the ocean side of the street and the hill side. Overtime, buildings have been removed from the ocean side of the road to create more public space and provide better views.
