The area provided the good farming land that allowed some families and in particular some European immigrants to become established in the local area. The beginning of the viticulture industry which is now an important part of agriculture and economy in the region was established in this area of Mandurang. In particular Tannery Lane was a place where industry and intensive agriculture was located. Criterion A

Tannery Lane culverts and trees - Physical Description 1
Tannery Lane is a rural road linking Mandurang Road and Strathfieldsaye. It connects two important outlying rural residential areas of Bendigo. There is an aspect of cultural landscape to this road that is unique in the study area. It combines a large allotment size, hedges, trees and road construction. The landscape is characterised by a boulevard of introduced European trees/hedges, stone culverts and there are several buildings that contribute to the understanding of the area as a farming community. There is a white wooden bridge towards the eastern end of the road.
The roadside reserve comprises an English Hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna) hedge with Osage Orange (Maclura pomifera) seedlings on the southern side of the road, and on the northern side a Hawthorn hedge with seedling Cherry Plums (Prunus cerasifera) and Silver Poplar (Populus albda) juveniles and scattered stands of native trees on land adjacent to the creek. There is also a row of mature Osage Orange towards the south - eastern side of the road and Elm and Oak trees near the Mandurang Road entrance to the Lane.
The stone culverts that extend for several hundred metres on either side of the road are substantial constructions requiring crossovers to give access to driveways.
