Claybank Brick Plant, Brick manufacturing plant in Elmsthorpe No. 100, Canada.

The facility contains ten industrial kilns, a laboratory, an office building, stock sheds, and a carpentry shop spread across 132 hectares of land.

From 1914 to 1989, the plant produced premium clay firebricks using materials from the Dirt Hills for railways, oil refineries, and metallurgical industries.

The bricks manufactured at this plant went into the construction of notable Canadian buildings including the Bessborough Hotel and Chateau Frontenac.

The site provides access to hiking trails in the Massold Clay Canyons with admission tickets available through electronic transfer or at the Interpretative Center.

The internal transportation system includes narrow-gauge rail lines that moved raw clay and finished bricks throughout the manufacturing complex.
