Brickyard
Template:Short description Script error: No such module "about".
A brickyard[1] or brickfield[2] is a place or yard where bricks are made, fired, and stored, or sometimes sold or otherwise distributed from. Brick makers work in a brick yard. A brick yard may be constructed near natural sources of clay or on or near a construction site if necessity or design requires the bricks to be made locally.[3][4]
Brickfield and Brickfields became common place names for former brickfields in south east England.
