This area was once home to around eight brick factories owing to the quality of the soil. These operations were almost all out of business by 1980s, with the ruins slowly dismantled or left to elements. This particular chimney is the remains of a factory demolished in 2003.

I am a web application developer, photojournalist, urban explorer, and history enthusiast passionate about the open web and documenting my experiences on this planet. This project was founded in the early 2010s and has evolved into a sort of personal Wikipedia of places that interest me (and often the photographs I’ve taken there). I’m originally from Toronto, Canada, but spend most of my time residing in Taiwan.
