A village described by its residents as peaceful and quiet, Brickery is located on the East Bank Demerara sandwiched between Garden of Eden on the one side and Supply on the other. It is home to approximately 400 people of mostly Indian extraction.

As befits a rural community, there is a lot of small-scale farming and cattle rearing. Farmer Ramesh Kishun, 35,
