Claisebrook Road is a road in Perth, Western Australia that originally ran between Summers Street in the north to Wittenoom St, East Perth in the south.
History[edit]
It was named by Captain James Stirling after Frederick Clause (Anglicized as Claise), the surgeon from HMS Success, who accompanied Stirling on his exploration of the Swan River.[2] Claisebrook Road ran downhill from Summers Street past the East Perth Primary School on the corner of Wittenoom Street, and when it rained run-off would flood the school.[3][4][5]
