Summary

Description
English: Laidley is a rural town 65 km west of central Brisbane. A town was surveyed in 1858 at a stopping place on the road from Ipswich to Toowoomba. Named Laidley, the town proved to be ill-located when the railway line opened in 1866, as activity moved to the railway station. 'New Laidley' overtook old Laidley, where tourists will now find a pioneer village.

Laidley prospered in the early 1900s. As an important town in the flourishing Lockyer Valley, one of Queensland's most successful agricultural districts, it witnessed considerable growth and development activity during the first decade to 1910.

Various buildings were erected in the town during this period as businesses commenced or expanded. Several of these structures - including the Exchange Hotel, G. Wyman's grocery store and a former bakery in Patrick Street - remain in existence and are entered on the Queensland heritage register.
