The area on both sides of the Kamenka here was used for baking bricks from the riverside clay. Archae­ologists have discovered a very old brick kiln dating back to the eleventh and twelfth centuries sunk into the cor­ner of the high left bank near the bridge, in which the bricks for Vladimir Monomach's cathedral were baked. Its oven can still be seen. The kiln was a rectangular construction consisting of two sections. The lower part contained the fuel and from here the heat passed through vents into the baking chamber. It could bake about 5,000 bricks at a time. There must have been several of these kilns in operation here at the end of the eleventh century. Bricks were also made here between the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries for Suzdal's monasteries and churches. There are constant references in written sources of this period to the archbishop's and monastery brickyards on the right bank of the Kamenka and settlements of "bricklayers, masons and all sorts of artisans".
