Robbs Jetty Abattoir was an operation that was part of the Western Australia government meat export industry between 1921 and 1994.
[1] The abattoir grew out of a complex of private meatworks established in the late 19th century, including Forrest, Emanuel & Company and Connor, Doherty & Durack.
[4][5][6] The abattoir was the destination of the Stacey's Lamb Train and annual delivery on the Western Australian Government Railway system.
The chimney is the only remaining part of the large complex of buildings that included offices, holding yards, freezer and chiller facilities.
The remaining chimney is a cylindrical stack resting on a square block of masonry with a total height of approximately 28 metres (92 ft).
