Spencers Brook A small settlement on the Northam - York railway, and adjacent to the Avon River. Originally called Brookton, Mr Thomas Wilding constructed the hotel speculating that a major rail line from Perth would terminate here thus giving rise to extensive land development. That did not eventuate as the line went through to Northam instead. The area these days is an established farming community and a grain collection/storage depot exists next to the railway |
