Lithgow Valley Colliery and Pottery Site
Lithgow Valley Colliery and Pottery Site, 19th-century industrial heritage site in Lithgow, Australia
The Lithgow Valley Colliery and Pottery Site contains archaeological remains of coal mining operations and clay product manufacturing facilities from the Victorian era.
Established between 1876 and 1945, the site operated as both a colliery and pottery manufacturing center, producing bricks, pipes, tiles, and domestic ceramics.
The pottery products from this facility are now preserved in major collections at Eskbank House gallery and the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney.
Visitors can access the heritage site through Lithgow City Cabs service, with prior appointments required to view the remaining structures and artistic displays.
The facility incorporated a continuous brick-kiln based on the Hoffman model in 1901, enabling increased production capacity for construction materials.
