There are two possible explanations for this:-

* Some commentators, especially those looking at references in {{COM}} and other very early Discworld books, have asociated this area with the Wizards' Quarter which the protaganists watch burning with multicolour flame and explosions, from a very safe distance. This might make factories and workshops in this area a "service industry" for the University, perhaps the alchemists.
