Feeder Bin mining town Bottom Holding Area at BlayneyA feeder bin stands inside the Box Hill Brickworks, its metal surfaces heavily rusted and its interior lost in shadow. Structures like this sat at the start of the brick production line, receiving raw clay before it moved through the grinding pans and presses. The works closed permanently in August 1988. Part of the Box Hill Brickworks series.
