The hall, built around the turn of the last century, was built of bricks made from clay along the Moore River in New Norcia. It had a corrugated iron roof and had bas relief features on the front. In its heyday there were regular agricultural shows and sports events for the Farmers and Settlers Association in the region. The hall was built on land offered by one Jeremiah Clune on a site near to the old Victoria Plains School. In 1975 it was set alight when full of hay and now only the barest of ruins remain.....

I think I saw this on RB a while back Lesley. We have a ruin in Bridgetown very similar to this, but with a a couple of more walls.
