Why is it called Stockwell?
NorthernVictoria
Where the name comes from
Named after the district. The name probably comes from a local well next to a "stoc", Old English for a tree trunk.
Worth knowing: A deep-level air-raid shelter built beneath the station in the Second World War was used by the government until 1944.
