Has Bins

Clackline is a small settlement in the hills 80km east of Perth.

In 1898 two gold prospectors discovered a huge deposit of fine quality clay in the area and established the Clackline Firebrick Company.

The factory's products were used by many government departments, gold mines and railways for use in furnaces, some even being exported.

The factory had an on and off history until it finally closed in the late 1980s. It is now on the WA Heritage List.
