Street Views of Glassworks
David E:
Perhaps the topic can be opened up to include other international sites? Is it worth moving to the general 'Glass' forum?
Anne:
I think we should do David, I'll move it over now. :thup:

I'm surprised all the northern folk have missed out the wonderful Lemington glass works. I remember them as a kid not so long ago but currently home to a Land Rover dealership.

Anne,
Ihave done a map of tehUk showing about 90 20th century glassworks, divinding them into those that have closed completely ( about 80%), those whose name is still kept going but do not manufacture from their original premises, ( eg Royal brierly and Ravenhead), those bought ou, and teh thirteen or so still going.
Alongside we have a list of their dates of operation.
Their is also a book called "The Book of Glass" by Gustav Weiss 1966 pub Verlag Ullstein, Berlin (pub UK in English by Barrie & Jenkins) pub 1971 which shows sebveral maps of glass making areas ( pages 333-335,) showing a map of the US, Belgium, Europe, Ile de France, Bohemia, Thuringia with around 400 glass works located.
Not quite street maps but areas of glass making concentration; the scale is small but it blows up well on my photocpier.
It has a green and gold Bohemia beaker circa 1850 on the cover.
Might this help?
Mike M:
I wasn't sure where to post these - I have a few: -
you might call the collection the state of bohemain glass today
Here is a street view of the Harrach glass works now celebrating their 300 anniversary. Indeed the second picure shows part of the 300 anniversary celebrations in progress.
a great glasshouse and pretty healthy too!
