Download coordinates as: Milton is a riverside inner suburb of the City of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.
[5] The suburb is a mixture of light industry, warehouses, commercial offices, retail and single and multiple occupancy residences.
[7] Circa 1862, the Anglican Church established a mortuary chapel for the North Brisbane Burial Ground (now Lang Park).
[17][18] In 1899 it was advertised in the Brisbane Courier for contractors for the "Dunmore Estate", Cribb's Paddock, Milton to make an access road through the lagoon and a roadway under the railway bridge.
The services were withdrawn after the disastrous Paddington tram depot fire and replaced by buses.
[citation needed] In 1911, 20 allotments were advertised to be auctioned by Isles, Love & Co on Saturday, 30 September 1911.
[31] The factory was vacated in the 1990s when Arnotts' moved their Brisbane operations to 46 Robinson Road East, Virginia.
[34] Between 1927 and 1969, the Brisbane City Council's tramway workshops were located at Boomerang Street, a site formerly used as a nightsoil dump.
However, in the late 1980s, a change in City Council policy saw the site sold for office development.
[citation needed] The Brisbane City Council's trolley-bus depot and garage was located between Chippendall and Castlemaine Streets and operated between 1951 and 1969.
[55] Notable landmarks in Milton include the Castlemaine Perkins brewery (27°28′06″S 153°00′21″E / 27.4682°S 153.0057°E / -27.4682; 153.0057 (Castlemain Perkins brewery)), known for the "Fourex" (XXXX) range of beers, Lang Park (also known as Brisbane Stadium and by the sponsor name of Suncorp Stadium), a portion of the Brisbane riverwalk and the Park Road strip of restaurants and cafés.
In 1914 the site established as parkland (John Brown Oval after a City Council alderman and used for cycling, athletics and soccer).
In 1955 Frank Burke persuaded Queensland Rugby League to sign a 21-year lease on the grounds with the Brisbane City Council and the newly christened Lang Park became the official headquarters for the Rugby League football code in Queensland.
The first Rugby League match was held there in 1958 and in 1963 the Lang Park Trust was established under an Act of Parliament.
Older fans still refer to the ground as Lang Park as do some media personalities much to the chagrin of the Suncorp sponsor.
The stadium is unofficially known as "The Cauldron", and Queensland fans developed a reputation for vocal support of their teams, adding to this mythology.
Extensive use of steel has helped to provide a built-in atmosphere and the designers of the redevelopment have opted for the use of a low flat steel roof because of its ability to enclose crowd noise within the stadium and re-creating the Cauldron atmosphere of the original Lang Park.
[59] The 1992 statue of rugby league footballer Wally Lewis erected at the southern end of the Stadium.
