Hampden Street:

Hampden Street East and West and Hampden Terrace ran across the whole valley and over the end of the hill at Mount Street but now the western end has been included in Toi-toi Street and Hampden Street finishes at Vanguard Street. On the first map it climbed the Grampians but now it finishes in Ronaki Terrace and Allan Street. For over a hundred years it has been associated with Nelson College and old writers like to tell of Rutherford and Littlejohn his master, strolling along the street of an afternoon, discussing scientific problems and pausing to make little diagrams in the dust to explain some point.
