Robb Jetty Chimney is the sole remaining structure of the Robb Jetty Abattoir, and is a visual reminder and marker of the former complex. Robb Jetty Chimney contributes to the community's sense of place and history. Robb Jetty Chimney is a significant landmark in the area.
The Robb Jetty Chimney, a tall red brick boiler house chimney, is the sole remaining structure of the Robb Jetty Abattoir.
The Abattoir and the associated landing place for cattle and sheep from stations in the north of the State was, for over 100 years, a significant component in the meat industry in Western Australia. The Abattoir was a major source of employment, and the place contributed strongly to the identity of the region. Following closure of the abattoir and redevelopment of the land Robb Jetty Chimney, is all that remains of the abattoir complex. For more details see Fiona Bush and Martin Gibbs: 'The Robb Jetty Abattoir' (Heritage Council of Western Australia, October 1995).
