Claisebrook Road is a road in Perth, Western Australia that originally ran between Summers Street in the north to Wittenoom Street, East Perth in the south.

History

It was named by James Stirling after Frederick Clause (Anglicized as Claise), the surgeon from HMS Success, who accompanied Stirling on his exploration of the Swan River. 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.
