The Lithgow Blast Furnace, established in 1906–07 by William Sandford Limited, stands as a testament to Australia's industrial heritage. Located in Lithgow, New South Wales, it was the nation's first continuously economic producer of steel, significantly contributing to the development of the iron and steel industry. The furnace ceased operations in 1928, and the site was acquired by the Lithgow City Council in 1988. Today, visitors can explore the preserved remnants, including the pump house and furnace foundations, offering a glimpse into the region's industrial past.
