BROOMEHILL MAPS The original townsite maps of both Broomehill and Katanning in approx 1892 were very similar in building lots. Broomehill was to be the main town. However the difference in development came when Mr Piesse a Parliamentarian of note had the Flour Mill built in Katanning which meant all roads and produce were channelled in that direction hence the rapid growth in that area. Broomehill was well known for bark stripping which early photos in the railway siding clearly illustrate.
