waterstones
« on: February 06, 2007, 08:09:32 PM »
I am trying to find details on a company called waterstones as far as I know who were glassmakers who left Wood Bros to set up on their own. I am trying to find the location of the company and when it produced glass and if it is still in production any help would be appreciated   Alan

Just rummaging around in Google produced this link from Rootsweb's Rotherham list archives which has some interesting info about Waterstones (and other glassworks in that area)...

AsiaGlass website also gives this contact info page for the company..
