brickfields
Where bricks form
Brickfields are areas where bricks are manufactured, typically featuring kilns, drying sheds, and expanses of clay or earth used as raw material.
These industrial sites were once common on the outskirts of growing cities, where clay deposits and cheap land made brick production economical.
The term also serves as a place name in several cities, most notably a district in Kuala Lumpur that historically housed brick-making operations.
