Langshaw Marble Lime Works, Industrial heritage site in New Farm, Queensland, Australia

The Langshaw Marble Lime Works contains two D-shaped kilns built into a river embankment, featuring structures made of porphyry and brick materials.

James Campbell established the lime works between 1878 and 1881, developing it into a major building materials supplier for the growing Brisbane region.

The lime production facility represents Queensland's industrial development during the colonial period, when local manufacturing became essential for construction needs.

The remains of the lime kilns are now integrated within residential developments at 12 Julius Street, where visitors can examine 19th-century industrial architecture.

The site includes specialized kilns that used a method of intermittent charging and firing, with limestone and fuel layered alternately for lime production.
