brickworks
Where bricks originate
A brickworks is a factory where bricks are manufactured—clay is shaped, dried, and fired in kilns.
The word is singular despite the -s ending: The old brickworks has been converted into apartments.
Also called a brickyard, though that term emphasizes the storage and sales area more than the manufacturing facility.
