Chimney of Triang Brick Kiln

This lone brick chimney of about 7m high is of an old slope brick kiln in Triang.
Leftover wood from sawn timber is the main source of heat for the kiln
which seems to be running smoothly in an efficient manner with clay source nearby
thus keeping it afloat ahead of its competitors,the newly designed
and more efficient multi fuel tunnel kilns.







Raw bricks on pallets awaiting it's turn to be fired.

Preparing for the next firing.
Fresh bricks are brought in with a trolley with pipe rails and stacked manually.
