Lanefield
Description
Place TypeLocalitiesHistory
Lanefield was named after the Lane family whose farm was near the railway. The area became important for dairying with the Lanefield Cooperative Dairy being established in 1890. It closed in 1909 after most farms were able to buy their own separator. Mining began in Lanefield in 1918 and continued until about 1970, evidence of the old workings and surface structures can be seen in several places throughout the area.
