Clayburn, British Columbia
- Clayburn, British Columbia
Clayburn is a small historic village located in the eastern Fraser Valley, British Columbia. Largely surrounded by farmland and green fields, the historic centre is situated immediately north and west of the city of Abbotsford's urban sprawl.
The settlement is known locally for its early twentieth-century brickworks and brick worker's cottages which line its main street.
The name "Clayburn" is used because in the late 1920's Clayburn was a large producer of clay bricks, and had varoius factories, some of which still exist today. Clay-mining and brick-making operations were started by one of the so-called "Three Greenhorns", whose "Brickmaker's Claim" is now the West End of Vancouver and was thought originally to have been commercially viable for porcelain clay. Most bricks used in British Columbia historically came from the Clayburn Mine.
