Wool Bay Lime Kiln and Jetty |
| Registered Name |
Wool Bay Lime Kiln and Jetty |
| Significance |
Wool Bay Lime Kiln and Jetty demonstrates the evolution of the grain and lime industries in South Australia. Lime manufacturing was fundamental to the development of South Australia's early building industry, and grain served as one of South Australia's major exports. Built in 1882 and extended in 1911, the jetty demonstrates the evolution of the dominance of the grain and lime industries on the Yorke Peninsula, contributing to their success. Built in 1921 for Miller's Lime Limited, the Wool Bay lime kiln demonstrates the adoption of new technology to support commercial scale lime manufacturing. The continuous lime kiln was built to increase the production of lime for the Adelaide market, and although it never successfully operated, it demonstrates continued investment in the lime industry despite increasing competition from cement production and growing use of concrete in South Australia.
