Protect the last of the brick kilns of Barcelona. Today we will know the history of this place are endangered. Obviously, the wall that protects the brickyard is made of bricks that occurred within the workshop. And this is the grace that wall; more than one wall is an advertisement that sells its products passing pedestrian street sure.
The fact of installing a brickyard is right here, at least, curious. Why? Just on the other side of the mountain there is an old quarry, where there is now the Park Creueta Coll. The hills of this area is full of small and large quarries, often hidden by vegetation. But stone extracted from a mountain is much more expensive than producing clay bricks.
Bòbila I opened one of the moments that Barcelona grew. Of little more than five hundred thousand inhabitants had the city in the early twentieth century, happened to have it twice, one million in 1930. It was only two years Horta had lost its municipal independence.
The history of this brickyard is the story of urban growth of the city, and often uncontrolled growth linked to the wildest speculation. But that she was not responsible for the brickyard workers.
It is expected that demolished the brickyard. The fact is, however, that this is the last city brickyard, a brickyard centuries. And yet it is inside bricks pile up mountains, as if it did not work ten years. They could do many things, such as a museum, as Esplugues zaged where the brickyard was half demolished. Or return zaged to reopen the brickyard to produce bricks are handmade. All areas deserve to keep their history, but tourists come there.
Barcelona had many brick kilns. Some small, as there had been in the Camp de l'Arpa, a mid-nineteenth century, a small brick oven to bake them and other larger as the brickyard Mandri in Sant Gervasi of Casseroles in the mid twentieth century.
Who knows how many of Barcelona houses were built with bricks as wall street sure? I have no idea of the quality of bricks; but Wall Street for decades Sure there are. Sure are a lot of quality bricks.
As some sources said, the only, but now that you mention it, there could be a Montjuic. We look for (when I have time)!
