Brick kilns have long been a part of human history, their stories woven into the fabric of daily life. From the brickfield on the River Bure in Norfolk, England, captured in an 1888 print, to the bustling kiln near Sloane Street, Chelsea, London, depicted in an 1812 painting, these structures have played a vital role in shaping our built environment. Yet, their tales are not without challenges. Brick kilns in Iraq, as depicted in images from 1932, have faced the harsh realities of pollution, with Kadimain bricks remaining a valuable building material despite the environmental costs. These stories of brick kilns, both past and present, serve as a reminder of the complex relationship between human progress and the natural world.
