The four allotments along the eastern side of Mitchell Street from Pall Mall to Hargreaves Street, were all first transferred from the Crown on the 21st and 22nd. of April 1854 ( Parish Plan, Section 1C, allotment 15 - now known as 19 - 21 Mitchell Street, Bendigo. The surrounding properties along Mitchell Street were transferred from the Crown to J. Pike (to corner with Pall Mall) and Henry Backhaus ( corner of Mitchell Street and Hargreaves Street, also on the 21st and 22nd. April 1854). At this time, the section of Mitchell Street and Pall Mall, which later came to be known as 'Pikes Corner' was considered a 'semi-swamp, for the ground had all been turned up by the diggers, being the foot of Pennyweight Gully, just where it joined the Bendigo Creek and there was more water than land to be seen of it.....I think the three allotments cost him less than 100 pounds each' (Bendigo Advertiser, 9th November, 1889, page 6, letter 'Pikes Corner').
