A place where bricks are manufactured or made, typically containing kilns, clay pits, and facilities for shaping and firing bricks.
Compound of 'brick' and 'yard' (an open area or compound). The word emerged in English during the industrial period when brick-making became a major industry.
Historic brickyard sites are now archaeological goldmines—they contain records of technology, labor practices, and even climate (brick colors and quality changed with different clay deposits and firing methods)!
