Outstanding outhouses

The series "Outstanding Outhouses" features images of striking structures in the rural South including The Ewing Phosphate Co. building in Clarendon about 10km north of Milton last week.

Phosphate sand was produced in Clarendon between 1902 to 1924.

A new deposit found in 1942 contained only a low percentage of soluble phosphoric acid and was only used when normal supplies were temporarily cut off at the central Pacific Island of Nauru and elsewhere during World War 2.

Production ceased in 1944.
