Whitemans Brick
Whitemans Brick was a brick manufacturing company in Middle Swan in Western Australia.
It was a company owned by Lou Whiteman.[1] His son, Manton Lewis Cyril Whiteman, took over the business after his father died.
The land on which the operations were located were expanded in the 1920s.[2] It was also notable in early usage of trucking materials due to shortage of railway facilities.[3]
It was notable due to its large kilns.[4]
It was taken over by Midland Brick in 1985.
