Lize Brick Factory (利澤磚廠) - Spectral Codex

There were three brick factory along this stretch of river. Here you can see part of a broken chimney from the first of these factories, built in 1954. Not much else remains of this factory.

The only chimney still standing as of 2020. The body of the kiln is lost beneath the overgrowth below.

Almost certainly a recently demolished kiln next to the highway.
