Queensland Woollen Manufacturing Company mill
Queensland Woollen Manufacturing Company mill, Industrial heritage site in North Ipswich, Australia
The Queensland Woollen Manufacturing Company mill stands near the Bremer River, featuring brick and iron buildings designed by architect George Brockwell Gill in 1890.
Established in 1875, this facility became the first woollen mill in Queensland and processed raw materials from the Darling Downs into textiles and garments.
The mill employed 226 workers in 1891, with 152 women forming the majority of the workforce, making it the largest female employer in Ipswich.
The former textile manufacturing complex at 42 The Terrace now functions as the Boral Hancock Plywood facility while maintaining its heritage registration status.
The factory introduced electric lighting in 1919, becoming the first industrial establishment in Ipswich to implement this technological advancement.
