Historical Milestones : The Lucknow goldfield was di scovered in 18 51, soon after Australia’s first payable gold wa s found at nearby Ophir. Th e entire mining area was owned

by William Char les Wentworth ; the gold field was known as the Wentworth Field until the name Lucknow was adopted in 1863. Peaks in gold productio n occurred from 1860 through to 1899 and ag ain in the late 19 20s. At its peak in the 1880s – 18 90s Wentworth goldfield was one of the riche st in NSW.
