Record number46612Datec 1975DescriptionThe Brookvale brickworks was owned by the Austral Brick Company Limited in 1975 and was called Austral Bricks. Brickmaking on the site began at the turn of the twentieth century and continued until the site closed in 1995.
Originally the clay and shale came from a quarry at Beacon Hill and was transported down the hill on a miniature tramway. Many houses on the Northern Beaches are built with the distinctive Brookvale Clinker Sandstock bricks. The site is now a residential complex but with some portions of the original brickworks retained.MenuPlace | Suburbs A-B | Brookvale (N.S.W.)Community | BusinessesCommunity | Businesses | ManufacturingSourceWarringah Shire CouncilSubjectsAustral Brick Company Limited (Brookvale, N.S.W.)BrickworksNew South WalesBrookvaleChimneysNew South WalesBrookvaleBrookvale (N.S.W.)IndustriesKeywordsAustral Brick Company Limited
