A place where clinker (partly fused material from furnaces or kilns) is produced or processed.
From clinker (from Dutch klinker, meaning 'brick' or 'stone that clinks'), combined with the suffix -ery indicating a place or facility where something is made or processed.
Clinker, that weird fused waste from old furnaces, actually became valuable in Portland cement production—so clinkeries weren't just dumpsites but essential industrial facilities that turned 'waste' into building material!
