Lithgow Blast Furnace, Industrial archaeological site in Lithgow, Australia.
The Lithgow Blast Furnace features three distinct levels comprising the plant area, rail embankment, and natural base, with preserved foundations and structural elements.
Between 1906 and 1907, William Sandford Limited constructed this iron production facility, which operated as Australia's sole iron producer for seven years.
The site documents the technological advancement of Australian manufacturing, representing a period when local industries started developing national production capabilities.
