DescriptionCotton has been grown in this district from the earliest days of settlement. Ipswich had the only cotton mill in Australia that was built in 1892. It had been somewhat hampered by a lack of local cotton and thus had to import from India. The mill was taken over by Joyce Brothers in 1907. It was closed in 1913 and converted to a woollen mill. Joyce Street and Cotton Street are reminders of the cotton mill in the area. References (offline)R. Buchanan, Ipswich in the 20th century; celebrating 100 years as a city 1904-2004, 2004
